Stainless steel seems to be working well, though much too expensive for most projects. Maybe part of the problem is that because stainless steel is a proven alternative where it matters, it's hard for other alternatives to break into the market, either at the low-end where there's zero chance your crews are going to apply the new procedures properly, or at the high-end where conservatism and greater access to cash make stainless viable.
