I have LXT stuff, fairly sure I read that they are not phasing out LXT ( I really hope not!) as they are still doing plenty of development on LXT. I have a cheap bare grinder, it is a nightmare at eating batteries, goes through a 3amp in about 10 mins of usage, if buying again I would definitely spend the bit more for a brushless version.

The 18v range/market is far too big to be phased out any time soon. You can still easily get ni-cad batteries and that range was tiny in comparison.
You could always get one of the 36v ones that takes 2x18v batteries. Either way I'd definitely stump up for brushless as grinders will fly through batteries.
Depends what you plan to use it for.

From an American trade show video at the end of last year, or start of this, Makita seemed keen to keep developing the LXT range for some time.
Edit...this was it.

I'm looking at one of the twin battery chain saws to replace my old Stihl

Has anybody got any of the 40v Makita XGT stuff?
I’ve got LXT stuff and I’m looking at a bare angle grinder but now slightly worried LXT might get phased out.
LXT is 18v and XGT is 40v so you’d hope they’ll continue to support LXT.
