I would hate to disagree. I have been hearing that Mainframe is dying since I started working (it's been 10 year now) and I have also kept hearing that it is Not and it can never die.
The article says:
This fact seems to be misleading. If you look back 10 years and try to compare the same data, then you'll know why Mainframe is becoming a secondary choice (compared to other technologies).
It is also worth pointing out who the author of the article is.
I am not surprised somebody who makes tools for Mainframes is trying to promote Mainframes.
We should also not forget the pay a mainframe programmer gets in comparison to other technologies.
