I'm not as worried about CI4 than I am the community around it. It's just become easier and easier to find devs that are already extremely familiar with laravel and/or symfony here in the USA. Everytime I interview a 'codeigniter' dev, I end up talking to a dev that still talks in 'php 5.4  - php 5.6' lingo. When I interview devs that are fluent in symfony or laravel, I find that they are in general better developers all around.

AWS conferences, PHP conferences/meetups, online forums and tutorials, and the latest toolings are all geared for symfony and laravel devs with specific tutorials for them. I've met Jeremy Lindbom (AWS PHP guy) several times and gone to their php courses at RE:Invent and everyone there speaks in laravel or symfony terms.

I personally wish CI4 had gone the symfony route and just become a set of components that could be imported anywhere. It's just going to be a huge uphill battle to gain the developer traction against 2 extremely well funded and marketed endeavors in Laravel and Symfony.

I'll hang around here for a while though, I still have plenty of work in CI3 that won't be migrating anytime soon =). And just as my sig says, these are all just tools! As long as CI is offering a set of features/tools that I can't find anywhere else, it will have it's place.
Codeigniter is simply one of the tools you need to learn to be a successful developer. Always add more tools to your coding arsenal!
