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.

They feel kinda crap compared to modern hydraulics and cable pull disc and calliper brakes, but that’s not exactly surprising given they haven’t received the same kind of investment.

Good though because they stop you reliably in all conditions and don’t make a horrible mess :)

Unless your chain derails or breaks.

When you get them really hot the grease gets runny and escapes.
