Vimeo seems to have found a good niche – professional video hosting. YouTube is a social network as much as a video hosting service, and for professional applications, embeds in websites, portfolios, etc, it's often a bad idea to include things that will detract from other content or take users away from the site. YouTube embeds are still fairly branded, may show ads, etc. YouTube has no interest in this market, so I think Vimeo will be fine.
