While my view isn't exactly unbiased since I do work primarily in the land of .Net, I feel like the world has the tools to move past it. It no longer seems to do anything 'the best' and unless you really need cross-platform compatibility, there are better options. That combined with some of the blunders associated with it's management and of course, Oracle being Oracle, it's not really as attractive as it once was. That said, I'd imagine that it will still be around and popular for some time, but I wouldn't be surprised if it fades in popularity.
