My slot cutter has dust extraction and again, whilst it's not perfect

you can easily see what it's doing by how often you have to empty it!

Is it just me or do others get an enormous amount of satisfaction seeing large quantities of dust in the vacuum collection bin, knowing that if I wasn't vacuuming at source all that would've been in the air / on the floor?

Nope, not just you. And it's not just that, it's knowing that you will
have less cleanup afterwards (as it *does* get everywhere). ;-(

At the risk of taking this a step too far (too late?),

Yup. ;-)

at the sight of seeing dust being sucked into the vacuum nozzle from beneath a drill bit I actually feel a strong temptation to keep drilling holes even if/where I don't need to!!

Erm ... no, whilst I can see the appeal it isn't something I would do
personally. ;-)
