Heart Tomatoes

Hi everyone,

I see a lot of attention paid to heart shaped tomatoes here on the forum. I haven't grown a heart shaped tomato and I'm wondering if I'm missing out on something? There seems to be a special allure with these tomatoes for some. From what I've read they aren't necessarily overly productive, do they have a special, unique flavor or texture or is just a neat looking unique shape that many are drawn to? Just curious to you heart tomato growers out there--what is it about them that you are drawn to compared to a regular oblate or round tomato?
