From my reading, it appears that fiberglass would be easier to maintain because it is not porous like the cement pool thereby not requiring as much maintenance. "They" say that fiberglass is ~ $40/month to maintain vs. $100 for gunite.
We mostly put it in for the kids and they got bored with it.
My daughter is away at college, my son is usually too busy with school or sports or whatever.

I don't heat the pool so its at a comfortable temperature 4 months a year. That translates to 4 days in Utah

If i liked jumping into cold water I could extend that season to 6 months. But i don't.

During those 3 or 4 months, it might get used every other week.
I guess you cold say the shine wore off the new penny. If i lived in the desert where it got really, really hot that might be a different story.

But it's usually pleasant here, warm, but not really hot.
It only gets really hot a few weeks a year.
