I love Corelle, and it definitely gets my vote. Corelle products are made from Vitrelle, a laminated tempered glass developed by Corning Glass Works (the same company that now makes Gorilla glass).

It's awesome stuff. Lightweight, tough, chip resistant, easy to clean, and moderately priced. Nothing else comes close, IMO.

Agreed on the awesomeness of Corelle.

We even tried throwing some out of a 4th floor window in college to test its unbreakableness. It won.

However, there's something about the way it feels in my fingers that I find so uncomfortable that I ended up giving all of my vintage 70's Corelle to my very grateful niece.
No idea what the cause of it is, but it just sets my teeth on edge.
