I will admit do being old-fashioned and preferring past tense for both my writing and reading.
There is one exception, a short story I wrote that really only works in present tense.
But generally, I find it too... intense. It also feels pretentious, often creating a sense of urgency that the plot doesn't support. Usually, I will decline to buy stories written in present tense...
I write both 1st person and close 3rd person (also dislike the omniscient narrator).
