Hi Smicky. I agree, in part. It's all a case of "horses for courses" though and making such decisions is all part of being a web developer. I'd be more concerned about using libraries owned by one man (Prototype.js for example). It's much more likely support will die for that before YUI. If you can't trust Yahoo who can you trust? They even build there own system on the libraries. I can't see development ceasing for some time yet.
For me it's all about producing results and keeping customers and users happy. Concerns about technology life spans are secondary to this.
