Like the title says. With the exception of pico de gallo, tomato salsas are the most common type of salsa out there and are never the best. Fresh or canned tomatoes, fresh or dried peppers, fully raw, slightly cooked, fully cooked – doesn't matter. Any sort of tomatillo based salsa will outclass its tomato equivalent. Fun salsas (pineapple, corn, etc) are hit or miss but are always at least more exciting.
But there is nothing more overrated than tomato salsas.
P.S. my favorite salsa is chipotle-tomatillo

I think they have their time and place. It’s fun to have options
I mean one is typically sweeter, while the other is more acidic. Sounds like you just like the latter more.
I enjoy them all…sometimes I just want that straight forward, no nonsense tomato and Chile de arbol punch.
