I've had the Passover Coke (real sugar, no HFCS), and, even though I wanted to like it, I have to say that I liked regular coke better. Maybe it's just a matter of operant conditioning or something like that.
That's the only basis I have to compare HFCS to sugar. I would prefer to have a pastry from a real bakery or a homemade cookie to a Twinkie or a McDonald's apple pie, but there's a big difference between mass-manufactured crap and the expensive stuff other than that the latter uses sugar and the former uses HFCS.
The real problem with HFCS compared to sugar is that it's so cheap that it tends to be used everywhere.
