Same here. The wiring is very simple, and I've no need of elaborate lighting effects, nor am I impressed by steam locomotive sounds in HO. Other than an occasional vacuuming of the track, I've not had to clean it after the initial cleaning, which followed the ballasting process. For the original portion of the layout, that was over 20 years ago.
I've operated on the layouts of friends using DCC, and thoroughly enjoyed myself, but I've no need of its features on my own layout.

While I enjoy DCC/Sound I am not above pushing the DC mode on my Tech 6 and break out my older BB SW7,GP7 or GP35 to switch my older BB, Roundhouse Bev-Bel etc freight cars even though I have better detailed cars and locomotives. In fact yesterday I switched back to my older cars and my BB Family Lines GP7.
BTW. As far as sound after 30 minutes or so I will hit F8 and enjoy the sound of silence.
