Honestly I don't think LDD is so much of a competitor for many people. Its
limited parts pallette keeps it quite restrictive. LDraw will always be the high
end tool for LEGO CAD due to its versatility and when people get frustrated by
LDD they will continue to turn to it. For example there are still many builders
who use LDraw to document their old models and they need the big pallette.
For LDraw now I would have to say that Brickshelf is probably not "the source"
for many (maybe most) people. The migration to flickr and MOCpages by newer
members has happened and BS tends to be a secondary source. I find 1533 pictures
of "LDraw LEGO" in a search on flickr and almost all of those will be from the
past three years. That's probably on a par with BS in the same time.
Times change but what draws people to LDraw is still there and drawing them.
They're just sharing in a more diverse range of forums.
