I think a big reason for the go's retro popularity is actually the modern ease of piracy. It's easy to find a station where there is no pay and just download a good selection of PSP and PS1 games to play. The only real problem is the trouble that ISO loaders can have with loading from the memory stick on a go, and remembering to have to use "ef0:" for pathnames if the files you're pointing to are on the built-in user NAND.
UMDs easily priced PSN out back in the day, and there was no need to provide the storage device when it came in the box, so nobody really cared about the go back then.

Those docks are insanely expensive these days. The only way to charge the go while it's plugged into the TV, too. With one of those, no on-the-fly switching and a lack of upscaling for PSP games are the only things holding it back from being the Sony Switch.PSP 3000 and PSP Go have the option of being played on TV, although not many are aware of it.
PSP Go has the advantage that it allows you to play games with a PS3 controller so even better.

This looks ideal to me considering I can't figure out a comfortable way of using the thumb stick it has. All of it is just too small for me.
