I remember Gartner being real big on SOAP and Web Services, I was an early REST convert, about 5 years after my conversion Gartner came to the government agency were I was working and made one of the guys in charge of lots of SOAP based initiatives cry by flatly announcing that SOAP had lost and REST had won. It was 5 years of Yes SOAP until suddenly it wasn't anymore.
So as the other commenter said skate to where the puck is going to be - and don't rely on Gartner for puck location trends.
