Agreed. I think almost every article I've seen that talk about openstack dying has come from people with stakes in either VMWare or one of the major cloud providers, even if not directly (e.g. they're a solutions provider for relevant parties)

My understanding from folks who deal with it is that openstack is quirky, and still far from being "user friendly", but it does actually work and does solve problems for them, without the huge cost of VMWare licences for environments on their scale. (scale being an important factor here, no doubt)

Openstack solves a specific problem, a problem that not everyone has in their 
infrastructure. Saying it will die is like saying mainframes (or their 
equivalent) died out years ago. As long as that problem space exists so to will

I've heard from multiple people, who I respect greatly, that OpenStack is going 
to die off, but I just don't see it.  The modern IT infrastructure is heavily 
populated with products and technologies that were a really bad idea in their 
original release. So, while I think OpenStack has some serious problems, I 
think it is going to be around for quite a while.

I would like to hear what a number of other folks who I respect think.
