They're not all that. Why do you think I bought a new Keysight meter

The main attraction at the time of production were they were less shit than the other brands, reasonably priced and had decent service and support.
Really the best multimeters out pinnacled with the HP427A analogue. It was all shit after that, even to this day.
Fluke plagues: shitty LCDs, stupid battery implementations, terrible quality switches, unobtanium ASICs, flexi-boards, bad quality reed relays, dangerous line power running across boards, weak input jacks etc. You win some, you lose a lot.
Got to be honest, the GW GDM-8341 I bought is rather well built:
