     @boo_ It didn't really die, but I think it's between Haiku and the BSDs, definitely lost a lot and for a quite corporate OS (like you get some kind of SysV+BSD mix) I'm not sure sure about it being kept by hobbyists when the few corporations backing it will likely move to something else.
     
     At least I stopped using OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana around 2013 while it was my daily driver desktop system since ~2008.
     
     I'm more glad that ZFS and dtrace made it to FreeBSD, ZFS made it to Linux as well.
     LibreOffice is still there.
     (And Oracle vs. Google on Java is horribly disgusting…)

     @lanodan Yeah, I don't see much of Solaris at all today, or actually at all. I grew up with Linux and "regular" BSDs (FreeBSD & OpenBSD, like God intended) so I might have a skewed perspective, though.

     Did it die with OpenSolaris getting discontinued or is that just conjecture on my part?

     @lanodan Absolutely! ZFS is really cool and it's telling how many "ZFS, but better and GPL"-esque projects there are, with ZFS still holding its own. Less experience with dtrace, but I've seen other people like it a lot. It really seems to have a lot of innovative features that were just folded into other systems, for good reasons.
