I use and like both depending on the occasion. They are just different animals in my mind. It seems to me that most people (at least in my life) are used to the store bought ones and do not necessarily appreciate homemade ones and might even find them inferior. I much prefer homemade ones but have learned to save the homemade ones for people who I know will enjoy them. Mostly that means my husband. Depending on the filling, I find that dumplings freeze and cook up from frozen nicely which is what I would consider doing for a crowd.
