I have Corian bathroom vanity tops and I put "bumpers" on the bottom of my tumbler to protect the tumbler from breaking. I can not imagine having to worry about all my breakables in the kitchen. I just would not feel comfortable working in my kitchen on anything other than a Formica surface. I've have Formica counter tops in my kitchens for as long as I can remember and it is so easy to work with. I have no worries about breaking anything on Formica.

I agree. I came to hate the granite in my kitchen. Almost every time I emptied the dishwasher I would break something from bumping it on the edge of the granite.
I guess granite has a lot of "snob" appeal. And it is pretty when it's freshly polished. But shows every fingerprint and smudge.
By the way, if you have good knives that you care about, don't ever do any cutting on granite. Won't harm the granite but will ruin your knives.
