We miss sailing. But not enough to go back!
However, if we decided to cruise the South Pacific, I'd opt for a pilothouse sailboat or at least a motorsailer. Yes, sailing is a bit more work in terms of things to do underway (before and after, too), but the feeling of slicing through the water in relative silence is pretty darn nice!
We'll get our sailing fix in Tahiti this June, as my wife and I are captaining one of the nine catamarans on the Cruising Outpost Share the Sail. That should last us another couple of years...
