STSADM has survived in SharePoint 2010
I am going through some of the SharePoint Conference 2009 Videos I recently got from a colleague of mine that was lucky enough to be there, and I am pleased to have learned that STSADM will not be gone in SharePoint 2010. Simon Skaria confirmed this in his IT Pro Overview session.
Great. Now I don't need to look for a new subtitle for my blog. 
But I Simon Skaria also encourages everyone to move on to Powershell because of its auto-complete capabilities.
