I have a concrete floor but hate it...I'm wondering if anyone has used those rubber mats over concrete?

I would recommend a single piece of vinyl sheet flooring over the concrete. Rubber stall mats are awful to keep clean in my experience. They have a texture so cannot be easily scraped clean. And the worst part is the bedding and poop falls between and underneath them and the only way to get it out is by taking the very heavy stall mats out.

WE have an old concrete floor, and have stall mats over most of it. Then, deep litter using bagged shavings, and cleaned out two or three times each year. Is it perfectly spiffy? No, but good enough, and low maintenance. Good ventilation so not any more humid than outdoors (by hygrometer).
This summer I plan to refloor parts of the coop where the concrete has settled and broken up, not good for rodent control.
Because the floor is uneven, sheet vinyl won't work, and we already have stall mats in the barn, so happy to use them. More cushioning for the birds too.

The heavy part is bad...as I only have a walk door. So that may be a deterrent for me. And why not just use a kitty litter scoop?

That's why I haven't used the mats. I have a door and step down. I suggested the barn rake because you don't have to bend down to scoop as bad and can reach under stuff better. I have back pain so it's hard for me to bend over. I most definitely would struggle with just a kitty litter scoop. Either will work, just depends on you.
