They've deeply weakened .net as it was always second fiddle - now there are more specific/relevant second fiddles to choose from.

Good .com's are worth much, much more now (e.g. Voice.com sold for $30 million USD recently).

I think some of the shady behavior from the new extension registries (they seem to hold back every decent name as a "premium") really hurt their adoption.
