Default Home plumbing: Copper VS plastic-type pipes

PVC is superior t metallic pipes in all respects- no corrosion and
should last longer than the house.

I was talking to a plumber and he told me that new houses being built
no longer use copper plumbing. In fact, he told me that the "plastic
type" pipes (I forget what the material actually is) is actually
superior to copper.

Is this true? It seems to me that copper would stand up better against
the elements "freezing, etc" than Plastic would.

Please advise.
