When ETH forked ETC was created. It is unlikely that it will grow large, but also unlikely that they will let it die now that it has some motion behind it. There are 100's coins that are still alive with almost nothing that you can do with it, and ETC is already much more useful.
That being said it will not blossom as much as ETH will in the future, unless the devs behind ETH decide to start doing ETC, but that is unlikely that they will choose to do this, because they were behind the fork.
I will still be building my mining computers for ETH but if someone want an ETC machine I will build it.

I happily sold all my free ETC. I don't know why the community voted for a hardfork if they were going to go ahead and start trading the old chain anyway. Will ETC fade away and die? I don't know, but I think this whole thing has damaged the Ethereum ecosystem.
