I have never, ever, ever scratched any of our granite. I even (rarely) use my chefs knives on it for a quick cut of something. I can slide boxes, and plates with rough under surfaces, and anything else across it; it doesn't scratch. That wasn't the case with our Corian. Just our experience. Maybe we were too rough on it.

Granite and Corian have continued to be "in style" at least since the '80s. Doubt granite will ever go out of style. Maybe not Corian either. Both are completely different looks. I like them both, but the ease of granite maintenance suits us best.
We have the undercount granite composite sink as well. I personally don't like the stainless sinks. I haven't noticed any scratches either.
