Seems to beg the question of whether TDD will fade, is fading or has already faded. I notice I'm not seeing as many articles about it as I used to - although perhaps only a finite number were ever required and the quota has been reached.

People started realizing that TDD is suitable only in limited number of cases. For example, there is no way to invent anything algorithmically non-trivial using TDD.

This is interesting. TDD is still a very useful concept. The methodology might not be the most comfortable to everyone, the result is very desirable. While I don't necessarily write my tests first before my code, I always make sure I cover my code with the same coverage and simplicity, and I encourage people to do so.
