I make fun of the stereotypes, but I've never personally known a vegan that was actually obnoxious about it.

Pretty much. It's mostly just annoying trying to cook for them, especially where I'm more of a dessert guy and butter/eggs are hard to substitute (substitutes exist, but they're often kind of weird and/or expensive).

I do also question the sustainability and environmental impact. Rain forest are being destroyed to grow palm oil and soy. Probably less CO2 emission than having the land as cattle pasture, but it's not much better.

Yeah, it's far from a perfect replacement, and soy is really not a great crop to be relying on to the extent that most vegan diets require (although soy is already used in pretty much every processed food - vegan or otherwise - because it has a lot of useful properties).
