For me, there's 2 entirely different kinds of bread:

* homemade bread: good flavor and texture

* supermarket "bread" for sandwiches: consistent size, soft texture for a sandwich where the fillings don't fall out, especially for eating away from home

Supermarket "bread" is more of an edible wrapper, but it has its purpose.

Where does an industrially produced supermarket baguette that's nonetheless made with just flour, water, salt and yeast fall?

I don't buy a lot of baguette. We use it occasionally for cheese fondue or baguette pizza. So for me it probably goes into the "edible wrapper" category - a means to an end, but not something I enjoy on its own merits.
