They aren't that bad, but when things go wrong, things go wrong. Luckily I didn't suffer engine damage, but most people need their heads rebuilt after something like that. I think Honda recommends timing belts every 90k? They aren't hard to change out yourself, but it's still a pain if you drive 30-40k miles a year and you have to worry about the belt. Actually for me the tensioner was the culprit that lead to the belt breaking, so that's a common problem between chains and belts.

On the Chevrolaewoozuki products of the mid-late 00s, the timing belts were recommended to change at 60K. They either snapped or lost idler pulleys , religiously, at 40K miles.
Interference engine, too
