My preference is the same, and I find all four metro areas appealing. Raleigh/Durham may not be very established as a major metro area, but it keeps growing and evolving, and is fundamentally one of the nation's most well rounded and successful places today.

At this point, the Triangle might as well be established, mainly due to the presence of RTP (which was created over 60 years ago) and the universities (UNC, Duke, etc.). I understand what you mean, though. The other three choices certainly have more history.
Louisville is great, but it's similar to my hometown in some regards, so I wouldn't pick it because of the familiarity.
I love Nashville's downtown, and it's growth is impressive so I'm going with it. I visited 5 years ago and liked what I saw then, so it would be exciting to see where it is now.
I plan on visiting Richmond for the first time this year, so for now I can't call it for that town.

A lot has changed for Nashville in 5 years. Fifth + Broadway is now open and the construction of new high rises keeps going. Nashville has finally embraced its river and has plans to develop the riverfront. If you are from Cincinnati then you will notice a few similarities between it and Richmond in some architecture and the provincial feel of both. Richmond is a mid Atlantic version of Louisville.

Yeah, exactly. It seems like Nashville changes the most rapidly in a year of almost any city I've ever visited in the past decade, at least.
Downtown in 2021, will be completely transformed by 2025. Nashville is becoming very dense in downtown and midtown/music row areas, and the projects keep coming in the form of skyscraper after skyscraper.
I think Nashville will have one of the best downtowns in the country for its size by roughly 2025 or so.
If MLB comes to Nashville, the whole area near Nissan Stadium will also transform into a vibrant and dense live/work/entertain district.
Exciting stuff happening all around in Nashville.
Like Austin and Charlotte, Nashville is constantly changing.
Triangle. I like the tech vibe it gives off and it's the least southern of the 4 imo.
