I disagree. I don't think it is going to fade away anytime soon. And the marketplace in some
regions of the US are still top dollar for the skill set.

I personally don't see JDeveloper ever replacing forms, perhaps HTML_DB or something else, but
not Java.Java is just too difficult for the average person to learn to use well. And the operative word
here is "well".
