Well, I think we should differentiate ftp the protocol and ftp the
program.
For better or worse, this is what it all boils down to. X.400 is seen
as a big advantage over SMTP because there are some very polished
X.400 applications out there, while the SMTP world is stuck with
university style hacks. Similarly, IP will be very hard to get rid of
because of things like SUN NFS, which haven't been implemented on an
ISO stack yet.
It isn't really a battle of protocols, except down here in the trenches.
It's really a battle waged on the basis of user perception of applications.
