I don't eat them that much. Many of the recipes I use don't include them and they oftentimes are more expensive than lentils, beans, mushrooms, chickpeas, whatever.
They did get better in the past few years though. A lot of them now taste pretty good. I don't mind them but I always give starting vegans/vegetarians the advice to not buy them too often and instead look for other culture's recipes. You will save money and it will probably be better quality of food.
Bean substitutes can go a long way, and that’s coming from someone who isn’t even vegan or vegetarian
