Yes. We need a new one, though. It's rusty. I want one with a slide out cutting board.

Yes, I'd like to have one. I'd like to make one actually, I think it would be a quality piece as well as being practical.

I just store bread in a plastic bag, in it's bread basket, in the kitchen counter. I don't need a breadbox.

If you buy or make your own real bread, definitely.
If you buy the fake mass-produced stuff, the plastic bag it comes in is sufficient.

Lol no. What decade are we in? Those things we inherited from grandma: house vitamins, supplements, and medicines.
It's almost 2019. We have a constant circulation of bagels, loafes, English muffins, etc.
No one would use that space hog to store bread.

That's fine if you don't mind buying fresh bread every day or if you're satisfied with crappy Wonder Bread and all its evil clones in various forms, but a bread box does make a difference in how long real, yeast-leavened, traditionally-made bread remains palatable.
Putting real bread in a plastic bag makes the crust go soft. Leaving it out makes the crust go rock-hard very fast. A bread box provides a semi-ventilated environment where the crust neither goes soft or the bread itself goes hard.

Only if you live in a colder, dry climate. Where I live the bread box does nothing, it's too hot and humid. You're lucky if your bread lasts 48 hours in the wet season. I bake my own bread but I really don't have time to do it every single day, so I usually end up slicing and freezing the loaves. I miss the UK sometimes...

I bake almost all the bread we eat.
Some people are into the bread-making process and find it therapeutic or emotionally satisfying, but I just want fresh, real bread made using quality ingredients, so I've used a Panasonic bread-maker for something close to twenty years now.
Some people are snobbish about bread-machines, and some people only use one a couple of times before deciding that the result is rubbish, but that's either because they've bought a rubbish machine or they're doing something wrong. The various Panasonic models I've used over the years have always consistently produced good bread, and I use it every other day on average.
Once I settled on a recipe I liked (I always use a combination of flours), and got things organised, putting the ingredients in the pan takes less than five minutes. Then you just have to wait four or five hours before you have fresh bread.
