Prosody is one project you should really look at if you are worried about 
the protocol dying. These guys are doing some really great work (mad props 
to Matthew).

Nicolas touched on OCS and other offerings (higher up in the thread). We 
currently use OCS are our IM platform at my work (*sigh* Microsoft shop, 
what can you do?) - keep in mind that these are Text/Voice/Video and pretty 
much nothing else. XMPP simply can't die because there is nothing else that 
fills the technology hole that it does. Furthermore these other technologies 
generally do not have the reliability that XMPP does (OCS is really 
unreliable; for instance, because of the P2P nature of it); so when it comes 
to choosing a protocol/architecture for mission critical systems XMPP is the 
way to go (just look at some of the XMPP consumers out there; US government, 
hospitals etc.)

People are just jumping onto these other technologies because they are the 
new bandwagon. XMPP will always be there.
