You haven't tried the varieties that you can't buy at the store.
Grow some Cherokee purple tomatoes, they will change your whole perspective on what a tomato should taste like. My SO disliked raw tomatoes until we took a chance on something different

You assume this is about taste.
In my case, when the texture of tomatoes touches the inside of my mouth I get the urge to vomit. When I was forced to eat them as a child, I literally ended up puking. The taste of Cherokee purple tomatoes will not change that.
A similar thing happens with egg plants, water mellons, and similar 'squishy' textures.
The taste of tomato paste, or ketchup? Love it.
Your SO and I are not the same.

Candy Sweet Icicle is another recommended variety. I never used them in anything because they go straight into my mouth as soon as they are ripe.

Diced is fine. Thin slices on sandwiches is fine.
Fat wedges or thick-ass slices though? IDK why, but ew.

Not bad topped with a bit of salt and pepper, but plain is just boring

cherry tomatoes are an amazing snack.

Meh. Eating them raw, whole ass like apple, no salt or whatevs. Sometimes with salt if I wanna. Putting in sandwhiches, eating in salads, or cut into pieces. Love em.
Bemoaning that I cannot put them in sandwhiches taken to work T-T They are too juicy and sandwhich becomes messy AF before break comes.

If I want raw tomato, I would at least salt & pepper it. Maybe with some cheese, but it's delicious either way.
But I won't feel too superior here, we all have this with some food
although it's only normal with onions.

I love tomatoes. Raw or processed. Cooked however. Almost as versatile as potatoes.
They are both part of the nightshade family, yes.
If you don't know or can't pronounce the botanical group, you usually just say they are "closely related (species)".
They can cross pollinate even. But the fruits such a crossbreed produces are not as tasty as they are separately.
