You missed the bit about it collecting in the tread of your tyres when mixed with snow! Yes, I know all that, I've had a gravel driveway before. But no driveway is the ideal - each has advantages and disadvantages. It's just that, on balance, I believe it is the best. Block brick paviours always seem to sink (and god help you if you need to get it up), tarmac goes grey and lumpy, impatterned loses its sheen & colour, stones get tramlines, resin bonded is expensive, etc. No one has come up with the perfect driveway yet, and I doubt they will. A core-grid-gravel drive is something literally anyone can do themselves. It's quick, it's relatively cheap, you can drive on it immediately, it doesn't need cleaning, you can get underneath it if you have to, and it looks great (if you choose the right gravel, not the boring grey my neighbours have!). Now left.

Block paving can be lifted, and replaced easily. You can even just turn the block, if you happen to leak a little oil.
