They have a totally different atmosphere to either normal daytime shots, or evening tripod shots. The same goes for the rainy shots on a late winters or autumn day. Since this time, I knew, that one day I have a Noctilux. The day came a couple of weeks ago. I hardly used it since I bought it, but the time will come. I don't envisage problems with the shallow depth of field at the large apertures, because most of my shots are taken towards the infinity mark.
