Did this a year ago, but not on a large scale. We are in a 50 year old house, had a combination of brick, with cedar on Gables and alcove. Had some rot around windows and was tired of the outdated look(cedar shingles). I do not regret the uograde.

we replaced cedar with Hardie during a remodel and i'm incredibly happy with it. it's only been a few years but not worrying about rot and fading has been nice.
we also wanted to keep the historic look instead of brick and this served the purpose well.
you can bitch about the colors or whatever. i'm not in love with the paint we chose after 2 years. i'm pretty confident we'll be painting it something different in a few years.

The Hardie is a piece of shite, as far as being sealed from the weather and insects.
You cannot caulk between the boards, and can only caulk the vertical butt joints, as per warranty.
So....... Bugs, and weather can crawl right on in your house. Not counting the exterior wrap. On most Hardie installs, just tap or bang on the bottom edge.
Rattle, rattle, rattle. The only fasteners, are on the top, concealed edge, so the bottom edge, jus floats in the wind.........
I think it sucks.

Our wood was shot. Our home was built in 84. Cheap plywood of the day was used. Hardy made sense. And really not MUCH more unless we were going with the same cheap shite.
