Freddie and Carly really are the quintessential boy and girl next door, which is something a lot of other shows (specifically directed at children/teens) have played with. I think a lot of people can come to expect those sorts of pairings because they do happen often and they make sense. Good boy and good girl who get along and are kind of perfect for eachother, end up together. All happy and sappy and perfect. Lizzie & Gordo from Lizzie McGuire is one such couple that comes to mind and it worked (granted they didn't get together until the end of the series so we never actually saw the relationship. Though maybe that right there speaks volumes...)

But, for me personally, I do prefer relationships like Sam & Freddie or Ron & Hermione where they get under one another's skin. They help each other to grow up and develop as characters. They aren't exactly alike. They aren't necessarily ideal in the sense of common interests or habits or mannerisisms. They challenge each other. They're polar opposites, but that is what makes them so perfect for one another. That is why they work. They spark something in each other that just doesn't happen in couples that are very similar.

And from a creative standpoint, I imagine a couple like Sam & Freddie is more fun to write and to work with. There's a lot you can do to play around with their dynamics. It also has the potential for a lot of humor and comedy, which is obviously essential to Dan.

As far as whether that's a reason Creddie won't happen, I don't think that's true. Like I said, I've seen couples like them happen. I'm of the belief that anything can happen at this point and it's too soon to say something won't happen. Good points though!
