Lol yes, I think so. But not the ones bred to be early, for the most part I dont think flavour was even the slightest consideration in the mad pursuit of the almighty "early" tomato.
I think adding potato leaf to a determinate will help because I believe that pl foliage is linked to enhanced flavour.
Just a theory but I believe absolutely that determinate and spitter are not synonymous but I don't think attention is paid to flavour by breeders. Always diseases and earlieness, shippability for market seem to supercede flavour as priorities. Exploring old determinate varieties myself, many must be good, from when folks cared about flavour more than how well they artificially ripen. Old garden tomatoes as opposed to market/ mechanized harvest varieties.
