Yes, often that is the case, but used in appropriate amounts I find no
substitute as part of a blend of spice flavors in some desserts. I
wouldn't make apple pie without about a 1/4 teaspoon, and more for pumpkin
pie or pumpkin cake or bread, along with nutmeg and ginger, also in
gingerbread.

I think many people use far too much of many spices and herbs. IMHO, they
are meant to enhance, not dominate.
