Here are some of my observations on the topic of lexical-binding by
following emacs-devel closely for the past few years.
It has become a norm to write new elisp code that is lexical-binding
friendly.
I have seen this movement started on emacs master for a long time now
(since 2011), and still there is a continuous effort to enable
lexical-binding on more and more emacs core files:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/log/?qt=grep&q=lexical-binding
The same applies to Magit and many other external emacs packages (
https://github.com/search?q=lexical-binding+language%3A"Emacs+Lisp"&type=commits
).
The idea is that once almost all the elisp code out there is
lexical-binding compatible, the default of emacs can be changed to that and
dynamic binding can be obsoleted.
I have also seen how a lexically bound package is more portable as there is
no implicit reliance on global variables from multiple other packages.
