I would agree that LEGO is overall going downhill. Not very many of their themes are as good as the old ones were, but some of the themes, such as Technic, Mindstorms, City, and Collectable Minifigures are better than ever. As a business, I think LEGO is genius. They do what sells best, and if that doesn't apply to their older, smaller fan base of teens, then we just have to deal with it. LEGO designs themes like Technic and Mindstorms for us. Ninjago and many of the new themes are aimed at 6-12 year olds. Not 13-16 year olds.
