I much prefer the lathe but I came into it in an odd way. My materials just keep getting harder. I started on a pottery wheel, then to wood lathe and now metal lathe. To me the mill is so tedious. All the clamping, squaring, and centering. The lathe is more often just chuck it up and go.
Of course I would probably feel different with a mill that could take a larger bite and had a power feed. (Not to mention DRO.)
