It doesn't have to be as dramatic as a complete shutdown. I bought into Google Apps for Business on the implicit promise it could one day completely replace desktop office apps.

All serious development has slowed down to a crawl. New developments are mostly cosmetic. Bugs never get fixed. Microsoft, miles behind not so long ago is now streets ahead with Office 365, and Google has quite clearly stopped giving a crap.

Google has never shown any interest in the long term pursuit of any product or service that couldn't be sufficiently exploited for advertising, directly or indirectly (collecting data to sell to advertisers), paid or unpaid.
