I would've liked to see Project Ara continue. I never thought the phone idea was good because the economics didn't seem to make sense. There's no way that a low volume product using expensive parts can compete with the handset makers and carriers on price and finished quality.
The real strength was in the maker space where you can put together components to custom build your own product. Just like a higher level arduino system, you can easily get a lot of functionality without the pain of low level development. There is a lot of potential, especially from the healthcare field, which had a lot of interest in this project. I know of a few people who were working on projects around project Ara before they pulled the plug on it.
