It only has that bad sound if it's on a bad oboe. On my greenline, I play forked F all the time....even in Tchaikovsky 4th, in the slow movement!
If it sounds bad on a good oboe, the F-resonance key isn't in proper adjustment. It's just that most people don't go looking to fix it, because they just accept that forked F will always have a rotten tone. It doesn't have to!
Of course, it *does* have a slightly different sound than the real F, but it's easy to meld it into a phrase.
