I should sign up that forum. I never get in any good srs bzns animation arguments.
On the actual argument, I've only been in the industry two years now, and 2D's far from dead. The only thing keeping 2D 'down' is budget - it's much cheaper to do computer based symbol/Flash cartoons, or 3D ones than traditional animation. But I don't even know how to start a 3D animation program and I'm doing fine for myself. And visually, CG's not 'new and shiny' anymore, so it's not being pumped out insanely to capitalize on it.
2D may not be at the top of the game anymore, but it'll never die. As long as animation as a medium exists, 2D animation will exist.
Plus, y'know, the American animation market isn't the only one out there.
