You learn to live with them and of course that requires some compromise or another. Mine is to fix a lot of flats; others prefer protected tire systems -- "systems" intentionally, since some involve two casings, some thorn-proof tubes + one or more of liners, sealant, and belted tires. The internal casing (beads cut off an old tire) is a local racer thing.
I am hoping that Stan's adds another weight to the rider side of the equation. So far, so good.
