I like caramel because you get a more complex, less sweet-forward flavor and it pairs well with acid and spice.

I don't like the flavor. It is too sweet and don't have a distinctive taste.

Are you making the caramel yourself and using it in savory ways, or are you just talking about commercial "caramel" sauce, caramel has a very distinctive taste

You're not cooking your caramel enough. The darker you take it, the less sweet it becomes and the more the flavor changes-caramrl should have a very pronounced flavor. If you take caramel to the right level of darkness it also develops just a hint of bitterness that helps further counteract its sweetness- just be careful because at this point it takes literally seconds to go from 'perfect' to 'burnt and acrid'.
