I don’t think it is “going away“ in a general sense anytime soon. The main counter argument is that it is more complex than you need, but of course this depends on your (more likely “your organizations“) needs. That can be hard to forecast on a 10 year timeframe, but I personally got dragged kicking in screaming into it last year and I can’t imagine I would’ve avoided it for much longer anyway.

So learn from my mistake and spend some time getting the basics before it’s added as a last minute requirement of your project! The bright side is that I, and probably you, don’t have to be the companywide expert at it, just know enough vocabulary and concepts to ask smart questions as you fit an existing install to your needs
