According to me the key factor for spree to be remain popular is that it has very good code foundation, architecture & community. If you are looking to own  a Storefront-end you should go with Spree else there are plenty of  rented solutions like Shopify. When we talk about spree solidus also comes into google search, so basically its forked version of spree and has chosen different path but the end result would be high class code base under revenue generating application, so its fine to go in either way.

In a nut shell, there are only fake rumors' about spree life, its growing well and Spree 4.2.0 is releasing soon with cool feature.
