Hello I do not think so. There are really big names (RJF, Robert Dodier and others) behind Maxima. As I understand from curricula vitae of some Sage develepers (E. Burcin, O. Certik, W. Stein, M. Hampton, K. D. Crisman, ..), the typical Sage developer is very young. Sage is wonderful project, but it is hard to believe that enthusiasm and diligence will beat the long experiences included in Maxima and Axiom in next couple of years - at least in calculus :) Sage is wonderfull and very very useful project - as well as Maxima and Axiom. I am sure that noone of them will put the others "out of bussines". Exactly like Firefox does not put out of bussines not only Opera and IE, but also Konqueror, Epiphany and even links and lynx!
