I think there is one poster on this forum that has some serious issues with granite.  I don't know, maybe he/she got ripped off in some granite installation or has some personal business to grind with some local granite supplier.  Or maybe she/he trying to justify spending extra $$$ on trendier surfaces and wondering if this will pay off, when majority of people are quite happy with good old granite and are not ready to get it ripped out any time soon.  Actually I don't know anyone who had ripped out and thrown away their granite countertops in the kitchen remodel.  It is still considered an acceptable surface that doesn't require replacement as opposed to formica, tile and corian. [/quote]

There's more than one poster who thinks granite is getting dated.  If someone was in the midst of remodeling their kitchen right now, I'd definitely suggest they consider other surfaces (although I agree with PPs that some selected granite types/colors are still OK).  With that said, I certainly wouldn't advocate ripping out perfectly good granite countertops just for the purposes of resale, or to have "the latest and greatest".  [/quote]

NP: I also loathe granite. It screams 2005 flipper to me. But if you like it, great it's your kitchen. I will be replacing the granite in my new house for something I like better.[/quote]
