I like plaques as well, but I think in terms of playability they generally take away from it. I think it depends on use case as well though:
Cash game: Good for $20-$100 'chips', depending on the stakes, to add bank to the game
Tournament: Bad overall since chips are moving around so much, I'd only use them for the highest possible denomination in a set, but even then, I'd rather an oversized tournament chip for a T25K or T100K over a plaque

I'm going to go out on a limb and also assume that people who play more often prefer chips, newbies love plaques because they are super cool lol

Yes, yes they are.

We use them in our cash games and some of my guys will try harder to win the pot if a plaque gets tossed in (I may or may not be one of those players). I don't have plaques in any of my tournament sets.

I've played places that have them, and I can say without a doubt that I HATE THEM! They take up to much real-estate, they usually are very slick/slippery and we're just a pain in the a ss. They look cool, we all remember seeing them in movies, James Bond etc, usually in Monte Carlo, or some other European locale... andwhen the chance to have them in a game came up everyone thought "how cool!" I don't think they are, and, could be a deal breaker for me to playing.

I like them for the big denominations, harder to get lost out hidden
I love the plaque Pron, but personally I’m not a fan of using them in games. Prefer to stick to just chips.
The one exception is if using the Casino Royale set for a fun, theatrical, family high stakes game.

Admittedly somewhat impractical, but they look and feel awesome! Lately though, we’ve used chips for 100s and just used plaques for 500/1000 denoms (this is not dollars, actual value is 1/10).

I’m a big fan of plaques for the bigger demons in my cash games. Since we usually buy-in for $20-$25 it’s pretty sweet to have the plaques out.
For my .10/.50/2/10/50 set the 10s and 50s are fun to bust out. I have $20 for my .25/1/5/20 set, working on a design for $100

I love plaques as high denoms in my tournaments.
Love 'em!
Plaques when used infrequently can be cool. I definitely wouldn't want to play with them every week as the novelty would wear off quickly I'm afraid.
The plastic ones can look amazing
but imo the feel & weight isn't great when played with clay chips.
Ceramic plaques definitely feel better to me when played with clay chips but are definitely not as durable & are prone to chipping. (no pun intended)
Bottom line: as always do what makes you & your group happy. I don't have any plastic sets but my guess is plastic plaques would work best with them.

I love plaques! I use them for rebuys in my cash games!
