Got one of these a year ago. Three trips (less than a month away total) it's already in pretty bad shape. The retractable handle gets stuck all the time and the wheels squeak loudly.
It wasn't that expensive but it still blows my mind stuff is breaking down so quickly. Probably walked less than 5 km total with it. Definitely less than 10.
What should be my next carry-on?
I'll probably get blasted by the Real Travelers, but I have a Rimova that's lasted me for years. Pricey though.

For carry on I have a Jeep backpack. Very very handy. Study and plenty of pockets, laptop sleeve on the inside.

have you ever had anything wheeled? if so don't you miss anything about it?

I have, it would piss me off. It would flip over, squeak, handles broke. Unless I'm going to get a large hard wheeled case I doubt I would again.
It most likely broke down due to being cheap. With exceptions price is indicative of quality.
Anyway, without much context I'd recommend a 30 or 40L backpack. Some people here swear by the Osprey brand, Tortuga are supposedly good. Spend a bit more on a quality back pack and it will last, especially if you travel a fair amount.
