Is Corelle really chip-resistant, and how does it compare to stoneware?

Across r/BuyItForLife threads, the consensus is that Corelle's triple-layer Vitrelle glass resists chips and cracks far better than typical porcelain or stoneware, and the plates stack in a fraction of the space. The honest caveat reviewers repeatedly raise: when Corelle does fail, it tends to shatter into sharp shards rather than chip, so it's 'nearly unbreakable until it isn't.' Stoneware (Stone Lain, Gibson, Le Creuset) is heavier, hides scratches less, but fails more gracefully.
