I was a university student at the Sciences-Po in Strasbourg, and the only one in all of my lectures who was writing with a rollerball (a Pilot V5, my then pen of choice). I bought my first fountain pen when I was living in France in 2000-2001. I spent this past week using the Metropolitan (plain silver, fine point) exclusively. But at the end of the day, I believe this is the single best entry level pen on the market, and one of the best workhorse "daily user" pens available. From an aesthetic perspective, some of the new "animal print" patterns (purple leopard print?) are a little out there. The grip section has a somewhat awkward "step-down" from the barrel to the section that can cause problems for those who grip their pens high. It's not that the pen doesn't have shortcomings-it does.
The Pilot Metropolitan is an excellent pen and I'm not sure I can sing its praises enough.
