WSE anachronistic?

I'm getting into WSE a bit finally, but after seeing Indigo and the ease with which some of the same things can be accomplished, along with the fact that there's no current driving need for me to learn it makes me wonder if it's a waste of time. Have others decided not to take on WSE in the hopes that Whidbey/Indigo would be released soon?

I am impressed with the structure of WSE, and got a cd from somewhere w/ whitepapers, WSE install, and tech-ed hands-on labs for some of the key features.  I probably will end up picking it up just to get closer to the nitty-gritty.
