Shifted to plain white Corelle for every day years ago.  The main appeal was its lightness, that it was thin ( you can stack and stack), and ease of replacement.

It's made of the type of layered glass ( vitrelle) that is break-resistant.  Not break proof.  It does resist breaking more than ceramic does. 

BUT, if it hits a hard surface, at just the right spot, it does that shattering -nto-a million-pieces thing that everyone noticies.

Ours have very rarely broken over the decades on our wood floor.  If one does, I have to quickly sweep up, so curious kitties don't get shards in their soft paws.

Since it very rarely does break, the risk is worth it to me for the other convenience factors.

Yes, I've used Corelle for decades and they are CHIP resistant, not shatterproof. I've only had one dish break because it fell out of a cupboard to the hard floor.
