Its funny the people with warm air furnaces want radiators and the people with radiators want warm air furnaces.
Grew up with steam heat and have warm air gravity in this house now. Both are little nicer with some water to add humidity.
I think hot water is a little better controlled using modern thermostats (ie on/off flame control vs managing a coal fire).

The original 1889 boiler steam radiator system in our old Victorian house near Widener University was converted to a gas fired burner in the 1970s and it was still working great when we sold the house in 1990. Water feed system was converted to an automatic float valve when we lived there so no more periodic checking of the sight glass and turning valves to keep the water level right.

3800 sq ft of living space with 18 rooms on 3 floors being heated by 17 radiators. It was very efficient and worked well.
