This is to me a reminder that Google is more willing to push through newish markets (and sometimes destroy the emerging players as a side effect).
FrontPage getting buried doesn't hit hard because there was already dozen of other more interesting editors, and Frontpage never was the front runner nor did Microsoft really push for it to be the best.
Same for Skype, if tomorrow it was to be sunsetted, it wouldn't be without pain and it will piss a ton of people that use it daily, but that pain would be gone in 2 weeks once they get used to other messaging platforms.
In contrast people are still pissed at Google for many of their buried products that basically took down their market with them, or never get a better replacement.
