Good tools are always appreciated. Tools with the right heft, angles, sharpness, and materials always get jobs done faster and better than their cheap counterparts. Brooms are no exception. A well-made broom feels good in your hands and picks up dirt as well or better than a vacuum. For my house, a broom with synthetic bristles works best--the natural bristle brooms just aren't made with fine enough bristles anymore.
I prefer to sweep than use a vacuum. It's quieter, for one thing, and more rhythmic. The broom is more agile, getting into corners and the tops of baseboards and all sort of other places. It's also easier to clean out when it gets dirty.
I'm sure someone has written an ode to the broom, somewhere. Someday I'll find it.
