I never understood why some people find the Tristar so awesome. Those strange curved shapes that are found all around it...

Why? What is so attractive about it?

I mostly use A319s as my short/medium haul if I start with them. My regional AC can be E170s, ERJ145s, CRJ100/200, etc. My long haul is almost always Boeing because of the 767-200ER and the 777-200ER.

No it isn't. Look at how the third engine is fitted. Pure elegance. A clean tube that goes through the tail, no twists or turns on the way. And that lovely nose, with it's huge elegant non-curved windows. And the nose-cone is molded perfectly onto the plane, unlike the strange Tristar nose cone. And the so far 4th widest cabin to date, after the A380, 747 and 777.
The DC-10 is pure elegance - awesomeness.  :-*

And the MD-11 :-* :-* Imagine all the attractive features of the DC-10, only stretched, with new larger engines, stretched wings and those lovely winglets. And POWER! It is the Chuck Norris of planes. If you treat it wrong, it will kill you, but treat it well, and it is awesome.

The DC-10 might be a bit stubby, but the MD-11 is the perfect size - Lovely  :-*
