As a fulltime Magento developer, I have a feeling that Magento's marketshare will drop (sorry Ben). Magento 2.1 is still alpha at best, with tons of (critical) bugs & core concepts still being completely changed (and this at 2.1!!). Please focus on getting the system stable first. I guess I'll just have to edit the core ;) - and hope my pull requests will get accepted.
We're finally chewing through issues & PRs at the rate we _should have_ from the beginning. I have to admit to some wariness on my part for the few months after GA, but we are currently investing heavily in framework. As a dev I think we have a rosy picture ahead of us, with concrete examples coming in December (fingers crossed).
