The taste isn't a "problem" to me as much as the texture. I was spoiled by white rice, which might feel starchy enough to fill you up, but compared to brown rice you don't have to work too hard to chew it properly. White rice also absorbs flavors really easily. Brown rice tastes slightly nutty, and tends to be more dry.
I just appreciate how different they are in a meal, I suppose. Last night I had brown rice with stewed fish (in coconut sauce, with ginger and chili peppers, which I thought might have been overdoing it but it turned out all right--and moringa leaves). White rice would have just mushed into the mushy stew, which was what I would have been used to and maybe why I don't usually like coconut sauce--I never thought to blame the rice! The brown rice made it perfect.
For something like a crispy barbecue, though, I'd prefer softer white rice.
