Every attraction should dazzle us. Those that don't are just filler. As far as filler goes, CoP is great: indoors, mildly amusing, nostalgic. So, if WDW is going to keep some filler around (Tea Cups, Small World, Astro Orbiter, etc.), I agree that CoP is a good one to keep. Ditto for the WDW Railroad, which doubles as transportation. However, CoP has the unfortunate luck of being located in an area large enough to house something with more entertainment value.
As for old vs. new, CoP is not in the same league as some of its fellow "older" attractions. The Haunted Mansion, for example, still dazzles people to this day. I've never heard any rumor that it may be replaced.
We all have our favorite low-key filler attraction (I love TSI), but we have to recognize their existence is more fragile than their dazzling counterparts.
