Does anyone else love squatting? Why?

Squats are currently my favorite exercise. The night before squats I'm always excited and nervous for the next day of training. I always look forward to my heavy squat day.

I train at a large university gym, and I'm one of the few people that squats. I'm not sure if it's because most people hardly train legs or the younger generation has been influenced out of squatting. I'm not sure if this is becoming a lost exercise. Do other people enjoy squatting?
