You are correct......I will go back to Aruba if I win a free trip there or a family member decides to get married there and my wife makes me go :-). In the way of explanation, I realized I do not like a desert island, the food did not compare to St. Maarten/St. Martin, there was no where near the variety of beaches and I do not gamble (a major attraction for many who go to Aruba). Therefore, Aruba offers very little for me. But if others enjoy it, they should go and keep St. Maarten less crowded.
