why doesn't everyone drive diesels?

I mean, for the same size car, you get better gas mileage with a diesel. You get more power out of a gallon of diesel. Diesel is less refined, so in general it's cheaper. Why is the car industry dominated by gasoline?

The only thing I can think of is the slow start off the line and the loudness. Speaking of which, why are diesels so loud?
