I was a dedicated visual deep sky observer for two and a half decades; it was never boring.
That isn't my thing anymore, though I still like to kick the four inch refractor or the Celestron C8 onto the verandah for a quick look-see.
Personally, I believe that what initially gets people most excited about astronomy is the visual views; later on, we tend to become more specialized e.g. astro-imaging, telescope making, viewing very faint galaxies, understanding how stars and galaxies work, etc.
