Steel frames are nice to ride, definitely not as quick or light as carbon but unless you're riding the Tour who cares? One of my favourite bikes ever was a steel Fondriest i had a couple years ago- still love the classic look of the thinner tubes, etc.
Steel frames are awesome for single speeds

When I say I like "metal" frames, Ally and Scandium are what I like. Carbon is nice but I'm taking a big risk riding one as a "street bike" (I don't always ride on smooth roads!) with how heavy I am.
