Sometimes it seems to gum up or just doesn’t seal as well as tape for me.

I’ve had the same debate with myself. Pipe dope always felt messier, especially on PVC—sometimes it just squishes out and looks sloppy. I stick with Teflon tape for most things, but I get stuck on the “right” number of wraps too. Usually three or four does the trick for me, but I’ve seen folks go wild with six or more. Maybe it’s just habit, but I’ve never had a leak with tape yet.
