All? Perhaps not. One reason could be, that it will be more difficult for them to catch on like .com has. Unless people get used to a thousand flowers. I am all for it, but not because I think it will increase some market or lead to more competition. We will perhaps never be able to get a true competitor for .com. And if we would like to try, I suggest .net as the candidate. It does not sound cheesy, rather accurately describes what the domain is about, and has no smell of i-came-late-to-this. And if it must be a new string, we should think of something that has the same invitating sound as come(e). Perhaps .here or .now? But I like .net best. Tucows could try to get .net in 2005 :/=
