Possibly, but I know exactly one person who writes with a fountain pen.
I remember wanting one in school, but the value was mostly in being able to flick ink at the other kids.
I know like, four or five people who use them! Depends on your circle. They're an affordable and eco-friendly alternative to disposable pens, although admittedly inconvenient if you haven't got a good setup.
I don't think I've ever owned a fountain pen that hasn't eventually leaked on everything. It's not broken either, it just leaks during the process of normal operations, so no matter how careful you are with it it will still leak.
Modern foundation pens with universal ink cartridges/refillable ones are pretty reliable. The only time one has leaked on me was when I dropped it and broke the pen in half. I had topen body fixed and it still works well.
