I adore a fine cheeseboard. Accompanied with cured meats and some olives or similar and a bottle of port it is a meal in and of itself. We have one instead of supper as a special treat if we've gone out for a large lunch or similar.
So. At the end of a large and fine meal I would take a small cheeseboard in preference to dessert.
But not all the time.
My wife makes the most stunning Tiramisu and on occasions I'd prefer that.

I'm not really a dessert man whereas I get more pleasure from eating cheese then almost any other food.
Sadly cheeseboards are usually crap in all but the best restaurants so unless I know the cheeses and they're worth trying I'll often have neither and simply have a huge main and a starter

I suppose restaurant cheeseboards have to be generic to cater for all tastes but individuals cheese preferences are very specific.
I think European cheeses taste mostly the same and are a bit rubbery, I don't think you can beat a good quality stilton and cheddar (the type of cheddar you taste right through your gums with some Dovedale blue or Perl Las on the side, but then some people will think the exact opposite to me.
... However no-one likes mild rubbery pre-grated cheddar in a bag, cheesestrings or Kraft slices
