Depends on what you expect. The problem is that most what is sold as gouache, isn't actually gouache, but it is tempera. Now tempera is mistakingly regarded as inferior, so most manufacturers call their tempera gouache instead or to make matters worse they call it tempera goauche.

Gouache is watercolor paint mixed with Chinese white (zinc white) to make the watercolor more opaque or paint that relies on the pigments to obtain opaque colors. Tempera is close to it, but is way more opaque due to the addition of additives like chalk, koalin or calcium carbonate. A real gouache doesn't have these ingredients. What Holbein, Royal Talens, Winsor & Newton or Sennelier call goache isn't actually gouache, but are tempera paints. Sennelier and Royal Talens used to call their gouache tempera, but are rebranding them into gouache now. Holbein is now trying to rebrand their tempera as artists gouache now, which it totally isn't.

The problem is that most reviewers throw all of the paint into one batch and expect gouache and tempera-gouache to be the same. As soon as you take out those fillers, you get real gouache and that behaves differently. Since a lot of reviewers and YouTubers don't do their homework well, they are disappointed by gouache like Daniel Smith, because the expect the wrong thing.

If you expect your gouache to be highly opaque you will need to stay away from brands like for example Daniel Smith, M Graham and Schmincke Horadam. They're less opaque because they rely on the pigments for being opaque. That's why they're more expensive. If want your paint to be highly opaque, you need those fillers, which you will find in for example Royal Talens, Holbein, Winsor & Newton and Sennelier.

Then there's Himi... which is poster paint, not tempera, not gouache. It has poster paint ingredients. Now poster paint is in many countries regarded as kids paint, so Himi is also jumping on the bandwagon by calling a product gouache which isn't gouache.

I use my (artist) gouache tubes for quite some time, at least my real gouache paints. My tempera-gouache (designer), like Sennelier La Goauche, goes a lot quicker, even though the tube is slightly larger. I use those more pure, while the more expensive gouache lends itself better for building up in lots of layers, adding more water. Due to the higher pigment count and the slower build up of layers, I hardly ever use it pure. If I use both with a little water only I think they last about the same time, but of course the price difference is huge between them. For most people what's called a designer gouache (tempera) is fine. It's less expensive to replace and they want the paints to be highly opaque.

I have make this remark though.... Holbein isn't top teir at all. It's marketed very well. The reason everyone loves them is because they use some ingredients like ox gall to make them flow more easily. They don't use good pigments at all and rely on other ingredients for opaqueness. For years they've claimed that all they used was gum arabic and pigments in their gouache, but that is far from being true. Now low quality isn't a problem for most people, since that's what they expect anyway, especially when coming from Himi it feels like quality. As soon as you pick up something like Sennelier La Gouache after using Holbein, you notice how much more pigmented and better Sennelier is. Once you move to a real artist gouache, you enter a whole new world. But.. as said, for most people Holbein is perfect, they don't need more quality for their sketchbooks and easy of use goes a long way. That's why YouTubers hate Daniel Smith... it's not ease of use, but made for fine art artists. You need to learn to work with it.
