I’ve never understood why people so frequently choose poured concrete over cheap interlocking pavers. Where I live, it’s extremely common to see someone pour a concrete driveway then promptly cut it up because they forgot something.

In contrast I've never seen someone have to cut up a driveway.

There are many ways concrete is superior to pavers. One of the most important is that it is miserable and almost impossible to properly clear snow and ice from pavers.
