Of course we can't ignore the fgdb as for better or ill we still live and operate within an ecosystem dominated by ESRI. It just won't be the next lingua franca, used by all as a common exchange format.
Matt, I agree. I do not believe the file geodatabase will have a significant impact outside of ESRI users, and for GDAL/OGR our efforts will presumably be to help people get their data out when needed. I agree that Spatialite shows promise as an open geodatabase format though it remains to be seen how widely it will be adopted.
