Please define "dying". Apple outside support of WO is dying, the community, while it's smaller than in 2000-2003, is still alive and Project Wonder is keeping everything alive. I think it's just a migration from Apple-backed-and-supported to  community-driven.

One word : patents!

Bah, COBOL, Perl and others techs are still in use... When I got out of college (1995), nobody wanted to do COBOL or PowerHouse (ah, the memories), now people who get out of school only want to do PHP, .Net or RoR, and look at Java/Perl/older stuff like we were viewing COBOL and older stuff back in the days.
