Will all these features require rework come SharePoint 2009/2011/vNext?" ------this is the issue i am worried about. With the new release of VS2008, a whole lot of stuff which was done by SPD is now in VS2008. So where is SPD going, i just want to be a SharePoint person. I do not want to touch VS2005/2008, so should touch SPD or not. Microsoft has this knack of confusing the user. Why cant we have deticated product to serve one track and they give us a road map? Can any one of the MVP's who are in the know, throw some light on this. Where is SPD heading, should i touch SPD? Will SPD have the VS kind of functiality in coding of Webparts and features and Stuff like that? “I’m avoiding SharePoint Designer composite applications, and warily looking at features like the BDC and Forms Services.

What's more interesting to me is: will parts of SharePoint die? I'm trying to make sure my solutions are "upgrade-proof" and it's hard to tell what pieces of SharePoint I can use, and what pieces will drastically change in the next version. Like SPS 2003. Areas disappeared; they don't exist anymore (the functionality moved). Like Microsoft CMS. It was its own product; now those features are in MOSS 2007 and CMS is no more. Search changed from 2003 to 2007, and it looks like we're going to have some out-of-band changes given the new Search Server, so even before the next version of SharePoint is released, search has already obsoleted (portions of) itself. All these changes are fine, but it's hard to say what will stand the test of time. As a result, I'm avoiding SharePoint Designer composite applications, and warily looking at features like the BDC and Forms Services. Will all these features require rework come SharePoint 2009/2011/vNext? "Will my SharePoint feature work tomorrow?" is the more interesting question for me.
