Some folks don't like FP's though because it takes a little bit of practice to hold them in the correct orientation for writing (nib down at ~30-45 degrees to the page), there can be a bit more maintenance (cleaning your pen between fills or when it dries out if you don't use it for a few weeks/months), the possibility of messier filling, the occasional ink glob on the page from "burping", etc.
More control over the writing experience (have a pen for extra fine, medium, stub, etc.), can change out inks as desired without throwing out a whole pen, and it's just kinda fun. I have a couple dozen inks from Diamine since they are cheap to import from the UK, and I can swap pens and inks around depending on what I want. So many colors, so many properties (shading, shimmer, sheen, waterproofness, etc.).
It's a fun hobby, and definitely lands in the luxury hobby category, but even a cheap Platinum Preppy with a cartridge is a good experience.

If you keep your pen on a lanyard or in your shirt pocket, this design is great as you can't hang it up without retracting the tip. It also holds well enough that you can leave it on your lanyard when you take it off.
I wasn't impressed with the ink/tip, so it's important to note a G2 refill fits in there, as well as a jetstream refill(personal favorite).
Got the M+ and the Candy Lamy. I'm not a big fan of Extra Fine, just too thin on fountain pen for my taste and some brands the EF are super thin. Some like it though. FPs are awesome and write so nice. Glad to see people are still writing, I think journaling is on the rise. I also find when I note take by writing versus on the computer I retain it better.
