It's interesting to me for a couple of reasons. 1) in design concept, it's one of the first planes to really be designed to the mission. Yes, the Navy had dedicated interceptors and attack airplanes, but for such a niche role it really is unique in the time-frame, and 2) I like low-and-slow gingerbread-man aircraft.
Plus, they've got great big bug-eyes that are pretty creepy. I'd hate to have it scouting me.
