We installed Pergo over a yucky old tile kitchen floor in our last house, and were very happy with it. The new laminates really don't look "fakey", and it's easy on the back when you are standing in the kitchen a lot. We picked it mainly because it was easier to install ourselves than ceramic tile, but ended up being happier with it anyway. We had just removed and replaced a bathroom floor with ceramic, and we nearly lost our minds. If you do ever want to replace the floor, it's very easy to take up the laminate. Busting tile can be fun, but it's kind of a nightmare to get all of it up.
