It seems like carpeting is becoming hopelessly outdated in any form, especially now that more people are cognizant of allergies, air quality, etc.
We bought a weekly beach rental two years ago and were thrilled that it was all hardwood floor, tile, and laminate. When we bought our primary residence in 1999, it was 85 percent carpeted -- even the master bath (yuck). As I write this, we're having our sons' bedrooms tiled (we live in FL) in part because our youngest hasn't slept in his room (preferring the couch) for a year because of his allergies, which he believes (probably correctly) are impacted by old carpeting.
By the end of the week, our home will be 90 percent tile or hardwood. Just one room to go.
Carpeting sucks. If you've ever pulled up carpeting yourself and seen what's underneath, you'll never re-carpet.
