Thunderbird is a good client. It would be a shame to see it go.
I am sure all that coding wont go to waste , someone is bound to pick it up.

I love thunderbird for two reasons:
a) It is Mozilla, a company which I trust and love. This means that I can make config changes in the same way as I do in firefox using the flexible and familiar about:config interface.
b) It is cross platform. I switch between Windows, Ubuntu and OS X computers several times a day. It's nice to have a familiar email program between the platforms.
It would be very very sad to see Thunderbird wither away. Development work in making it a viable replacement for Outlook should see it go a long way further. One possible improvement is that, ipods/cell phones/palms usually only offer sync'ing to the outlook calender. If this could be done easily in thunderbird, a lot more people might be using it...

Thunderbird can't go away. It saved my butt at work when Eudora bit the big one and couldn't get my emails after re-installing Eudora. I even, heaven forbid, tried Outlook *shudder*. Thunderbird installed and imported my old emails without a hitch.
Note to self, download and save the current version of Thunderbird.

Thunderbird is my preferred email client. Both on my linux machines and my wife's desktop.. I'll miss it.
Dipped in Ubuntu
I care if Thunderbird goes away. I use it in both Windows and Linux. Not to mention I like the Webmail, Hotmail, and Yahoo extensions.

I don't use clients any more (all Gmail all the time) but Thunderbird is a great app.

It's not going away, Mozilla are setting up new company to develop and extend it so they can focus on firefox.

I don't use it. I don't use email that much anyway.

Not much coffee nor Ubuntu
I used to use Thunderbird (it was a fantastic app!) but then I got iGoogle, and set it as my homepage. Now Swiftweasel is my web portal.
