Not all paprika is made with bell pepper - most of what I see isn't, so that may be a difference in your reaction to some versus others. I like my jalepenos roasted (or chipotle - same pepper, but smoked, as I recall) and the red ones also have a better taste (less chlorophyll flavor).Yeah I love Chipotles and anchos Serranos etc oddly I love paprika but something about the prep removes the bitter taste. Jalapeños are meh sometimes they're way too hot and I don't love their flavor but they're not gag me like bell peppers. Habaneros taste good but I can't handle the heat.
For a long time as a kid I thought I hated all peppers cause I didn't like bells and that's what people always give kids. As an adult I figured out they all taste different as well as have different heat levels and have been slowly working on my tolerance for the heat side since.
As for habaneros, my last batch of chili just might put you in the grave (or keep you on the crapper wishing you were dead): I made a chili paste with fresh, roasted habaneros - nothing removed except the stems - and combined with some chipotles, adobo and chili pequines, plus a few other things.
