This was the only one I disagreed with. Everyone said GCC was it forever, yet here we are ushering in an age of llvm/clang/etc. SVN was decidedly dethroned by git (and also mercurial). I think you can cherry-pick places where monocultures have developed but history shows that those are the places that get disrupted.

Anybody who said GCC was forever doesn't know their history very well.
