I think the last commenters fail to see the point here, this is not about technology, not about xPages. It is about making a viable living, one that can support a family and freelancer lifestyle. If there are too few customers in an area to make that living, the technology becomes irrelevant now matter how promising it is.
With Jake losing his customers, so many reports of companies moving away from Domino, near-empty job boards, the signs are worrying and in certain areas may even reach a tipping point. It is a terrifying sign for a platform if key players in the community cannot make a living of it. It likely also means no new developers enter the community, which in the long run is a sign of near death.
