I guess that steel must be really dying out.

At least for now carbon is all the rage. It wasn't too long ago that folks wanted Ti everything. Now they want carbon everything whether there is a significant advantage or not to that material. Personally I would not want a light all carbon stem...but that is me. Who knows what material is next.

There will always be a market for steel. I prefer carbon for weight, stiffness and practicality since I ride all year in all types of weather.

That said if I had the money and room I'd love to have a steel frame to ride as well. A friend of mine is not riding his Waterford as much and I quickly asked him if he wanted to sell it. Unfortunately his answer was no.
