I heard the same thing about steel framing a few years back. Now, you have a bunch of half-assed steel framed house that nobody wants.
Proper traditional build techniques yield a home that is hurricane wind-resistant, relatively inexpensive, and with foam, very energy efficient.
I don't think concrete will catch on, even with it's positives.

AAC home that survived the california wildfires
I can see this being very advantageous in storm/flood prone areas. I would not classify Baton Rouge being one of those areas.
