1) Firefox, Epiphany, Opera etc will play Theora by default in their 
next major release. Native video support without the need for plugins is 
  big deal and will push more people to generate that type of content

2) Red Hat via Monty is working on improving the quality.

For a lot of web content, it is already good enough. Anything more and 
we will run into patent issues again.
