I discovered the Jeff Cooper stuff later than most, and really wanted to like the .40, but I just don't. Fortunately, I tried before I bought. That said, I don't think it'll ever completely go away as it's a fairly panic-proof round. Damn near everyone has at least one 9mm locked away somewhere, but .40 is usually one of the last rounds to sell out. Another advantage for guys that favor .40 is that firearms and accessories are likely to remain economically priced as everything else becomes more expensive.
I think we'll see fewer manufacturer offerings in future, but it will still be around for a long time (relatively speaking- in this horrible political climate, who knows how long anything of our favorite companies will be around?)
