It's hardly going to spontaneously stop working for no apparent reason,
and I expect the media to be cheaply available for a very long time;
I think it's niche, but fairly safe niche, as a portable recording

If removable media, random access, and rewritability matter to you
(which they do for me), it's still one of the digital formats of choice
I think.
