Boeing is building the new 787 dreamliner almost completely out of composites. If you take a look at an Ashby chart (Strength vs. Density) you would see that there are composites that are as strong as steel but as dense as aluminum.

Steel is an alloy mostly made of metallic elements. You really wouldn't classify steel as a metal or a nonmetal. That terminology is mostly used with pure elements.
