I'm actually fine with D&D being the market leader. What I find worrisome is that D&D so utterly dominates the industry that they're practically one and the same. When WotC rolls over in their sleep everyone feels it but some companies are crushed beneath their bulk and the slumbering beast barely notices.
In the spirit of the thread I'll try to nominate another company. There are some companies who have managed to stay in business for many decades including Steve Jackson Games, Palladium, and Chaosium. I'm going to knock Palladium out of the running because they've had a dickens of a time putting product out plus there was the "Crisis of Treachery" a few years back. Steve Jackson Games wisely decided to focus their business interest on Munchkin and other games other than RPGs, so they're not a good choice. And Chaosium, well, they've got Call of Cthulhu but I don't know what they'd do if they dominated the market.
If I had to pick someone right now, I'll go with Free League. I've been impressed with every single game they've released.
