Ethereum without Vitalik is like the earth without water (the source of life) looks barren, barren and cannot grow a blade of grass. Maybe we'll go to Mars.
Honestly, Vitalik role cannot be separated from Ethereum, maybe if it wasn't for him, the fate of Ethereum would not be as great and crazy as this in the cryptocurrency industry.
Because the husband has an end, there must be someone who can replace him, miners are still struggling and investors are still willing to pay for it. I believe, Vitalik already has a plan for Ethereum future not to stop after he dies. We just don't know for sure.

Most of the biggest organizations I know have an established plans for succession as we don't know what can be in this world. And I am sure that Vitalik Buterin himself is aware of the importance to have this succession plans in placed. Now, we know that Ethereum is always connected with this young man and if ever he can be taken out for any reason then most probably the whole network can be affected but it does not mean the end of it. Just look at Apple right now and soon we could see the main man in Amazon to be stepping down and even CZ of Binance is already thinking of having someone filled up his shoes in Binance. Ethereum will still be Ethereum and will continue to be growing without Vitalik though I am not wishing this to happen any time.
I think Vitalik should find a successor at some point. I'm sure there will be some people who will be available to continue it's development with same vision.
Then what for development which is currently still not good in your opinion? because what I see on Ethereum is very worthy of praise because it has really helped Ethereum users in the past and also at this time. 
Well, that's why it's important to build a decentralized network in a way that it can survive without you. Satoshi probably left many years ago yet his successors were able to carry-on without Bitcoin degenerating to something else. I feel it's also very important to build a system that fairly promote very talented people with similar passion and ideologies to position that will guarantee they succeed you incase you are nolonger there. It should be a merit-based that almost guarantee the talented people work in harmony.
Hope he understands that pos contradicts what I watch him promote on YouTube.

This is a good question! Unlike Bitcoin where Satoshi left the development so there's no central point of failure, in ETH, Vitalik seems still controls the development. If he steps down in the near future, I think there will be a civil war in ETH community. However, ETH community will mature over time, so in the event where he steps down (when he gets old, retired or something), I think the development will still continue.
BUT the question of survivability isn't entirely about him since there will be smarter people born every day, and may come up with greater idea than ETH.

ethereum has grown enormously in the market. we might see when ethereum is without Vitalik in the future. the community is certainly a strong background for the survival of ethereum in the market.
but of course, there has to be someone as extraordinary as Vitalik to continue the development of an already large platform.
If you only depend on the community without project development, it's like waiting for time to die.

Vitalik was playing a role to give a contribution for what kind of innovation that must be implemented into the ethereum protocol. We know that if the bug and problem will always there and that's why vitalik was playing the main role to think about what kind of solution to be implemented to fix the problem but this doesn't mean if vitalik was not with ethereum and ethereum will die.
Ethereum's life depend on the miners and parties who have been helping to run the network.

Ever since Vitalik created Ethereum, the project has been on a road towards non-stop success. It's been around 6 years already with ETH being the world's second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. Vitalik's skills and great mindset will keep the project afloat for a very long time. But sometimes I wonder what will happen with Ethereum without Vitalik in play? The community could keep the project alive, but without a genius mind like Vitalik Buterin, ETH will be one step behind of its rivals. At least, that's the way I see it. But I could be wrong.
