Probably vaguely negative in principle, or at least sufficiently negative of disallowing their children to receive modern educations that it outweighs other positive attributes like pacifism. The last time large numbers of Amish were actually exposed to modern society (during the WW2 conscription era) was also the last time there was a large exodus away from their lifestyle, which suggests to me very strongly that it's not all it's cranked up to be. You don't see people switching in the other direction.

Interesting that I seem to be the first person who admitted to a negative opinion even though it's a large fraction of the poll.
