You know as well as anyone that for decades people have been saying e-mail is dead, everyone uses X instead, but the X keeps changing and e-mail is still around.
Email is still around, and is still used for business. But for most interpersonal communications, email has become the medium of last resort, after social media sites and SMS. And in addition to the other reasons that cause people to prefer other media, spam filters have made cross-domain email notoriously unreliable.
We've basically lost what used to be a common Internet-wide medium for effective communication, and that's an immense tragedy.
