Methods don't fail, Marcus.  Projects and 
companies do.  Individuals are absorbed 
by the winners.   Is XP a fad?  Sort of. 
It is mostly a shortcut.  Having seen the 
other extremes of structured design, the 
sweet spot is somewhere in the middle, 
and that is where most of us find ourselves.

I know a few good people who regard XP highly, so I'm loathe to have much
of a kick at it. That said though, to the uninitiated, XP sounds like a
snazzy name on a methodology that that has failed time and time
again...:-)
