Note that the fact that while there are certainly alternate measures of performance, that's not the same thing as saying "fallen out of favor of most professional cyclists". FTP (albeit loosely defined) is still the standard unit of performance capacity. Maybe in a few years, one of the alternate measures will become the new standard, and there are certainly cyclists using alternate measures, but that's a far cry from saying "most professional cyclists".
