Yes, my (cotton) jeans will wear out right where they rub the saddle in 3 months of biking, whereas my (synthetic) bike shorts or workout shorts last years and years without any sign of wear where they rub.

For underwear I started using ExOfficio Men's Give-N-Go Boxer Brief and it also just doesn't doesn't wear out from rubbing. It's not cheap but it lasts almost forever.
