I honestly think I've never had a really good tasting tomato from a supermarket. At best, during the summer, they're about as tasty as end of season home grown. The rest of the year they are bland and lacking in sweet/acid balance.
The growers and supermarkets have got a preference for thicker skinned tomatoes now because they can sit on a shelf for longer and are less likely to be damaged during picking/packing/transport.
