I don't think it's the end of vB. At all. vB is a very widely used product, and even though I have my many quirks with why 3.8 STILL has a messy table based layout, the coding and team work behind vB has always been solid.
I do think something is stirring up though. The drama of the leaked vB4 threads, and now several people up and leaving at once? Something smells fishy, no matter what.
I'm not going to speculate, because it could be a number of reasons. However, all of them leaving at once tells me that there is a lot more going on than just coincidence. And correct me if I'm wrong, but up and leaving your career like that, I'm sure it takes a LOT to get to that point. I'm completely miserable at my job.. i feel like I'm the only one who even cares about quality, and I am the only person who gets work done in a nice timely manner.. I'm stuck with dated designs and dated programmers because no one will move forward and progress WITH me.. And yet I'm still here, and I couldn't tell you why.
To actually LEAVE? Pack your bags and leave? And not just you, you and several co-workers? Something has got to be going down.
