I don't have a problem with coilover conversions, I just feel that they aren't for me. I like building stuff myself and learning along the way. I also like the unique feel of torsion bars and I get a kick out of knowing I'm driving a car with suspension that was designed 60 years ago but has ~90% the capability of modern stuff. Lastly, my car isn't at the point where I've maxed-out the suspension and need to convert to HDK, AlterK, etc. to reach my goals. I'll "never say never" to COC on a Mopar but there are few scenarios where I'd consider it and better handling wouldn't be one of the reasons. Honestly I'd probably look at converting to rear multi-link coilovers before the front, if I did.
I love classic Mopars because of the engineering and tech put into them from the factory. Torsion bar suspension with advanced (for the day) geometry, offset forward-control leaf springs, effective unibody design, interesting engine tech... IMO those are the kinds of things that make Mopars cool and unique. I have no issue with people who want to upgrade those things to work better but what I find irritating is the "this is old and needs to be changed because it'll always be trash no matter what" mentality.
Also great point about the seat time and driving experience... No point in having an excellent-handling car if you don't have the skills to make use of it.
