Full disclosure: I currently own six guitars and two basses. I own exactly zero amplifiers. I'm a keyboard player by trade and guitar is secondary for me. And pretty much all I do with any instrument these days involves writing and/or recording. So my electric guitars and basses get plugged directly into the I/O box of my computer and all of my amps/cabs/effects are in the form of software plugins.
I know the purists are cringing after reading that but purists can suck it. My guitar parts sound excellent. The notes I play and how I play them are another matter, but the sounds I get are as top shelf as they come. And I'm not alone. I've got good friends that still setup and mic amps but will not hesitate to use software amps when recording. If you gave me a real deal 60's vintage Fender Twin or Vox AC30 or Marshall anything, I'd sell it without thinking twice. No use keeping something that's just going to collect dust.
