For me, a good tomato is defined as one which has some acidic bite in the flavor as well as some sweetness. The good tomato "plant" is one which produces well in adverse conditions including disease resistance.
If you line up a number of tomatoes from many varieties and ask me to determine which are good and which are bad, it isn't difficult for me to determine which meet my criteria by taste. I'm sure many people would disagree with my selections and probably choose a different flavor profile as their favorite/favorites.
