Do coaster brakes always feel like crap?
What exactly do you mean by crap? Just the brake, or the hub as a whole? The braking modulation?
Over all they're average at best. You can usually adjust them a bit to make them weaker or stronger.

I have just put a second hand wheelset with coaster brake rear on a bike. although I quite like it as a novel way of modulating speed it is quite clunky. Can’t remember what they felt like the last time I used one.
