A good hot sauce adds more than mere heat. Sriracha, for example, is also garlicky and sweet, so it adds a nice flavor to a variety of dishes. Pure heat by itself is rather boring. Also, this is relevant. Hot sauce is first aid for crappy food when you don't have the time or inclination to buy or prep something better.
I guess you could broaden this thread to include other condiments. I like a blend of mustard and aji paste, which isn't really hot, just savory.
