Deep nets ate everyone's hype. The lunch is still there. SVMs have many advantages over ANNs that recommend themselves to practical applications still.

training speed, training data requirements, and runtime resource requirements are the big ones. And on domains that are not raw image processing, SVMs are still often quite competitive when it comes to accuracy.
