Like I said before...

I had some good salad tomatoes fixin' to go soft/spoiled and wanted to
use them up before seeing them get wasted!!!

I'm perfectly well aware I can get some really good pre-peeled diced or
fine chopped canned tomatoes! I can even get them canned salt free. I
use them some for sauces and they are most excellent. I've even used
them to make taco toppings when fresh tomatoes went over $3.00 per lb.
