The writing is on the wall. As a user since it was GrandCentral in 2008, I have to say that the writing is on the wall. I can't think of one substantial new feature that has been added since the initial launch (I guess Android integration would be one). Looking at the Google Voice blog I see it had 19 updates in 2011, 6 updates in 2012, and none so far in 2013. Also, apparently Voice recently moved from the "More" heading on the Google homepage to the "Even more" heading below that. If it makes it through 2014 I'd be shocked. Maybe it will even be killed this fall.

I don't expect it will be killed outright, but my guess is that some of its features will be folded into some other Google product (Hangouts? Google Chat?) and users will be told to migrate.
