The quality of stud these days is so bad I'm not surprised people are switching over. Of course it complicates wiring a little as the metal stud can rip the insulation off and you have to follow strict guidelines for fire safety when making holes for sockets.
I spend a lot of time finding decent straight lengths of timber at the merchants. I wouldn't just buy a shit load and have it delivered unless you're building a boat and want a lot of curvy wood :)
