I'll say it again for those who weren't around at the start of these polls, there are never any "it depends" or middle of the road answers. Imagine it as a theoretical question. Even if it's 50.1% to 49.9% if you just had to come down on which kind of thing you like more often, pick one

They're not meant to be easy questions
Middle of the road answers will always win out otherwise. lol
Anyways, me personally, while I often like desaturated colours, more often than not I really like how B&W portraits come out. As windrider said, it's the simplicity about them that draws me to them. I probably shoot more colour, but I really like a well executed B&W.
