Same here. I'd default to "not enthused", but as so many have said, I think I am fine with them given one or more of the following:
a. trying to put on Period window dressing.

b. located in a relatively out-of-the-way corner - you have to go there specifically to get the food; you're not likely to see them while passing by on the way somewhere else (kinda like the bar at the Homestead!)

c. it is a charity, not a for-profit vendor.

I think very little of this applies to Pennsic, which is just its own weirdness. If you are referring to the food guy at the event last weekend, I didn't find them offensive per se because they looked OK. In fact, they were more attractive than any number of flea market-type vendors I have seen.
