Nxt is definitely not dying:
1. 1.6 is coming. Features for 1.7 are in progress as well
2. There was a very interesting discussion in the dev maillist recently(not to be disclosed atm)
3. Heavily updated Nxt fork, Burst, got turing-complete scripting(so-called Automated Transaction) so Ethereum tech many months before the Eth. So Nxt can get this on-board very quickly, but for now it's better to watch the experiment aside

I run a special program via the NXT API...
That estimates the numbers of "serious users" of NXT...
Roughly defined as the numbers of accounts with > $1,000 and > 10 tx in the prevoius X months.
The NXT user base has been dead flat at about 200-300 users (maybe 500 if you stretch it)...
So here you have a "growth business" that is dead flat for a year or more.
It doesn't matter what metric you use: (a) users or (b) price = NXT is dead flat...
This is in spite of adding many great new features... bolting on more features is a waste of time.
NXT growth needs to be viral... it's dead flat.
As for ETH, it's built from the ground up to be used by banks and corporations and little guys...
It's a super-elegant design... much like the combination of DOS and Basic in 1984 that exploded...
So it's no surprise that IBM has been building on ETH for many months.
No serious business will EVER build on a platform controlled by ANONS from the Deep Web = NXT.
Plus NXT has no marketing strategy... "marketing" is constantly ridiculed in the NXT Forum...
And not only was SuperNET always a stupid idea... it simply has not been delivered.
Good tech will always prevail.
