I too have loved all the characters past and present :). I think the show's been really good at giving them all their own unique niche and place in the team, and I think they've also done well at finding people to join the show over the years who could create an excellent chemistry with the rest of the cast/characters.

The characters are what got me invested in this show and they're who keep me watching. I think it might be a little tougher and sadder for me if any more of the original team members ever leave, but at the very least, I'd check out the show to see what it'd be like without them around. I don't know if this show could be like a "Law and Order" sort where the cast rotates for so many years. I think there is a special chemistry between the core group who've been there from the start that would be hard to fully replace altogether...but who knows, it could be done.

As for the cases, I like them, too...but I'm not as interested in trying to solve the mystery with the team as other fans tend to be, or going through the specific process of profiling itself (interesting though that job is). The part of the cases that always interests me the most is more the aftermath of it all. I like it when the show touches on all the moral/ethical/societal questions that these cases bring up. The potential redemption or lack thereof of criminals, what makes someone a killer, why some people go bad while others in similar situations don't, whether the work these guys do glorifies the bad guys, how families rebuild, or don't, after a tragedy, etc. It's fascinating stuff to explore.

And I love seeing how the team deals with the weight of this job as well, with the impact it has on their families, the guilt they feel when a case doesn't work out, or when they get too personally attached or sympathetic to a victim or unsub, or the fine line between dedication to solving a case and being obsessed with it, and stuff like that. That's part of what keeps me so invested in these characters-we learn so much about them that way, and I like that.
