If they're converting Tumblr to Wordpress, I bet it will get folded into their main hosting solution eventually and Tumblr will cease to exist.

That doesn't make sense. The primary use-case (and traffic driver) for Tumblr is a social network for logged-in users, similar to Twitter but with some differences in the feature set.

The public blog network is a minority of traffic. If you've never actually been a Tumblr user, you won't have an understanding of the product at all.
