I use Wine on and off, so much that I bought the CrossOver app that's built on Wine.. I use it on Mac to run windows-only programs for work like Microsoft Project, Microsoft Visio and a small desktop tool we wrote a Lon time ago. I think Wine is amazing but must admit that one day it's use will probably be obsolete (there are alternatives to the Microsoft programs that are more or less "good enough").

I think that when Wine was originally started, the goal must have been for it to be obsolete one day. That day is still very far away, and regardless, Wine is a technical marvel.

No. Win32 programs will be around approximately forever.
Win32 will be one of those "forever" technologies. Like COBOL and now Java.
