We had a couple of front loaders in the last house - a Maytag that lasted about 15 years, then an LG for about 5 before we moved. In the new house we inherited a vintage Maytag dryer and Whirlpool top-loader washer. Literally the same type we had in the house as a kid.
For longevity and repairability the vintage stuff can't be beat. For ease of use, the case isn't so clear-cut. The dryer started making noise and had it repaired and had them evaluate the washer while they were there as we have difficulty keeping it balanced (family of 5 - we do a ton of laundry). Nothing was found to be wrong - just the nature of the design. So while the LG front loader did have the mold/moisture issue that even leaving the front door open didn't fully solve - it actually made doing the laundry a lot less of a chore. I'm certain my wife will insist on another front-loader when it comes time to replace it.
