Expression Media 2 - Headed for Retirement?

[RegRoy]

Are people still continuing to use Expression Media 2 considering now that Phase One has taken it over from MS? I've seen a lot of great writeups about it but now that its future seems in jeopardy I was wondering what people are doing.

And what is a good alternative to EM2? Or are Bridge and LR3 simply they way to go? I know that Bridge and LR3 are VERY different from EM2 as they are not media managers, per se -- but I mention them due to the "overlap" of features (minus LR's editing ability of course).

Thanks.
