Drywall has it's advantages. It's relatively easy to install and repair. properly installed drywall secured to studs makes it much easier to run new electrical wiring or cables. If you put a hole in it too big to patch, just cut out the sheet and put a new one in its place.
In this climate, drywall may not have the ability to endure as long as other materials. It all comes down to choice and compromise based on cost, functionality and whether one is prepared to maintain it more often than perhaps a different material. Should moisture penetrate into the chalky interior of the drywall, it is ruined and will need to be replaced.
Certainly easier to hang pictures on drywall than concrete walls.
