I never got the appeal of waffles, honestly. With regards to your breakfast breadstuffs, I'd have to rank them last: waffles<biscuits<French toast<pancakes<biscuits+gravy.
Barto. I generally agree with you on everything and always look forward to reading your posts, but I have to respectfully tell you to shut the fuck up ( ). How can you possibly say that? The waffle is so versatile. You can put chocolate chips in them. Put ice cream on them with all kinds of fruits and syrups. You can make french toast waffles. You can put bacon egg and cheese between two waffles. They can be eaten with a utensils or with your bare hands. I'm flabbergasted right now, and slightly heartbroken.
Oh, and I forgot to mention the English muffin, which also kicks the living shit out of waffles.
All of the things you mention can be done with other items. The English muffin (or croissant) make far better breakfast sandwiches. Hell, given the inherent crunchiness of the waffle, so do pancakes and maybe even crappy-ass wheat toast. There's nothing you can put into waffles that you can't put into pancakes, including chocolate chips (if that's your bag). You can put ice cream on French toast. I suppose my problem with waffles is twofold. For one thing they're a bit too crunchy. If you think about it, they're actually quite thin. All of the thickness is made of empty space. Pancakes are actually a bit thicker and ten times crunchier. The other problem is that waffles are hard to work with. They're impossible to butter unless you melt it down and pour it all over them, and the syrup just collects in pools. Not what I'm looking for. With the common pancake, which I consider the closest equivalent to the waffle, the syrup runs all over it whist being absorbed. That's how it should work. Same with French toast.
And as I'm typing this, I'll also include tortillas (both flour and corn) to the breakfast breadstuff pantheon. You mentioned using them as utensils, and tortillas work great in that regard. You can roll up all of your other breakfast stuff in flour tortillas, and corn tortillas are awesome with fried eggs. Great as a utensil and they taste great as they soak up the yolks. Probably not something that happens up there in Yankee-town, though.
