The breakers cost a lot more than outlets and the convenience of
having the reset right there was also a reason. I wouldn't want to
run all the way down to the basement if SWMBO drops her curling iron
in the sink or if I lay my drill down in wet grass.

Another reason is that I'll bet most home inspector wouldn't be able
to comprehend how a standard outlet on a kitchen counter could be GFCI
protected if there is not a GFCI outlet nearby.

Um, I think that's what those "GFCI PROTECTED" stickers that come in the
box with the outlet are for.
