Cloth diapers or disposable?

I just finished folding a load of diapers and realized I have never met another mother of my generation who is or has used cloth diapers. I do a combination. At night or when we go out, disposable; during the day at home, cloth. With many people concerned about money (disposable diapers put a dent in the wallet) and putting stuff in the landfills (you can’t recycle or reuse them), why do so many people choose disposable?

I understand many daycare facilities will not accept cloth only disposable. What are the other reasons? and would you choose cloth or disposable?
