Sometimes I really like pine, other times I don't... Knotty Pine is a pain in the ass to cut. The knots cause it to fall apart as it's running through the saw, and that can be dangerous. Especially if the saw blade catches a knot and sends it toward your face at 100mph. It's also so sappy that you have to do a lot to it in order to put a finish on it.
I've worked with Ponderosa Pine and Sugar Pine, and they were beautiful... easy to work with too.
Of course, that's my opinion based on working with pine. I like the way it looks, so if someone else were doing the work it would be cool.

Mine is all knotty yellow (white?) pine - all my floors, all my outside walls (due to the D logs) and all the ceiling and exposed beams. And all the cabinets in the kitchen, bathrooms and wetbar
What's weird is that all my windows and moulding is also pine except the doors! It's one of the improvements I want to do - get rid of the crappy doors and put in 6 or 5 panel pine doors with the pine moulding. Between that any my brightly "all different color" wall, I'll be happy
