I have copper tubing in my house, is that a thing of the past?

I see it more and more in newer houses. I have to say, I do have some reservation about it's long term performance. But you can't beat the ease of installation and cost, as opposed to copper. Also, a friend bought a house built in the early 80s and as soon as she moved in the wall in the kitchen started leaking after months of saturation from a couple of pin hole leaks in the copper line inside it. It was a terrible mess when I removed the sheetrock to get to it. So I guess copper is not all that reliable long term either.
