Nope, it's not just you!

They age and are unobtanium. I prefer plain 7 segment LED displays

HKJ:
VFD may look nice, but their lifespan is fairly short (I have two 8846A that is less than 10 years old, but the VFD are rather aged).
I hope that graphic color LCD will last much longer, I have a lot of meters with them.
LED are very reliable and easy to replace if the die, but they are fairly limited. Generally I like them, but a DMM can do a lot more with a graphic color LCD (See new Keithley or Keysight).

Are those diy GW Instek kelvin clips with the screws on them or a different clip with fixed cables? Am curious if the connections to the clips are low emf, serviceable and what cabling/shielding was used.

I like connecting the DMM (or any other instrument) to a PC, with a gigantic monitor, if I need anything more than basic information.  So I've never cared that much about graphic displays (except on oscilloscopes obviously! Even there, piping the output to a gigantic monitor suitably suspended over the bench is better).
