There was a period in the 80's when I used to notice whether someone had alumininum or wooden screen doors every time I drove past their house. In fact, I almost looked down my nose at such people and thought they were no better than pond scum (just kidding). I was going through a snooty stage. I'll tolerate the white aluminum doors but I despise the old-fashioned steely gray doors (and combination windows).
I'm not wild about vinyl siding either but I can appreciate its practicality as it requires very little maintenance (no need to paint). However, I have heard that vinyl siding rots the wood underneath.

The front door of your house is a primary focal point, and few elements will enhance your home's charm like a nice looking front door. That usually means a storm and/or screen door protecting your main door, as is required by some city building codes.
If you drive around bungalow neighborhoods, however, you'll be hard pressed to find a house with its original storm or screen door. Unfortunately, yesteryear's aluminum door salesmen were apparently as successful as today's vinyl window salesmen. That any original storm doors are left at all is a testament to their durability. The few houses that do have them exude a certain integrity that is impossible to capture with any type of aluminum door.
