I have several dozen user old planes, scrapers, chisels, spokeshaves, etc. and use them on my woodworking projects - as well as several newer planes and handtools.
I enjoy using them and they do an adequate job (for me.)
However, for the most part, newer designs, better materials, and better workmanship on new planes offers better performance, durability and use. There are numerous product improvements in the Veritas and Lie-Nielson offerings over their antique predecessors. In general, for the same amount of money, the newer products outperform the antiques by far.
