You can look at them two ways:
It's cool because it's an intricate engineering problem solved through clever design.
It's totes uncool because it's a useless, unnecessary complication that adds weight and complexity to the car, is less functional than regular doors (the 300SL's gullwing doors are necessary, because the high boxed sills would make ordinary doors way too small... cars like Koenigseggs and Lamborghinis don't really need fancy doors) and is typically done, like ostrich-skin seats and carbon-fiber cosmetic trim, just because fancy doors are a "luxury".
