Unless you can predict the future there is no way of knowing what the 
situation will be in the years to come. Currently all we know is that 
Neos will go its own way, with its own developers, plans and community.
Neos is (or will shortly be) a separate product like TYPO3 and other CMSs.

The code base of TYPO3 has been modernized in quite a few ways, complex 
parts are being rewritten and new features are introduced. Development 
of TYPO3 is faster than ever before; there are currently no signs that 
it will become "legacy" any time soon.

We will have to see how the market develops. As long as there is 
interest in systems like TYPO3 and Neos there will be developers who 
will work on the code. This is equally true for any other software product.

You can start with Neos if you like the system, but equally well you can 
stay with TYPO3 or start with Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla or another system.
Neos is not the successor of TYPO3. I'm not anti-Neos or pro-TYPO3, but 
you should from now on see them as independent products. The choice is 
yours.
