Metasploit Dominating?

Is it just me or does metasploit dominate the hacking world? It seems that on this forum its all bout using metasploit to use a exploit or using a reverse shell (payload) to hack a operating system. I thought that his was a newbie tool that doesnt work on anyone with a decent AV .

I have thought myself python (still learning!) but it seems that i dont really need it since ther is a metasploit for almost everything! Virusses,backdoors,listeners etc.

Hope that i am wrong :)
