I don't see it this way.

IMHO due to the decrease in hardware price (processor power and RAM) embedded projects increasingly are done with "full" Linux. This does need much more RAM and maybe a little more processing power, but developing application is much easier and safer.

This is why since some time the full Linux tree for NIOS Linux is supported.
