I hate this new trend towards extremely high ceilings, completely removes the comfort feel of a house.
Guess that depends on the home.
Right?
One advantage is high ceilings can create great airflow. We built one of our places based loosely on a couple of old Savannah homes. One unexpected benefit: Opening the front door and rear doors allows a crossdraft that will often blow papers off tables. Same for our beach place.
Our homes are a bit on the large side, so the proportions work, but they are very comfortable homes.

Definitely. It depends on the size AND the design.

A perfect example of a house where high ceilings work.
I'm more a fan of ranch and prairie houses. I prefer horizontal to vertical lines, but that's just me. I am a fan of the old Savannah/Charleston houses, though, in the right setting.
