The only downside I see to masonry is also the strength: permanent solution. They are not fun if you want to remodel or change things.

Active since 1995, Hearth.com is THE place on the internet for free information and advice about wood stoves, pellet stoves and other energy saving equipment.
We strive to provide opinions, articles, discussions and history related to Hearth Products and in a more general sense, energy issues.
We promote the EFFICIENT, RESPONSIBLE, CLEAN and SAFE use of all fuels, whether renewable or fossil.
That is the problem, in some cases they are not permanent. Chimney's weather and degrade. If not properly supported or if the ground is soft they can also sink. Earthquakes and brick do all sorts of fun things.
I completely agree in areas with lots of seismic activity masonry chimneys don't make sense
