It really depends on the network... So, take all of your small businesses and pile them up with all the equipment from larger or more profitable companies (ones that can afford Cisco gear and/or have the need for it) I would say given the amount of small businesses I've worked with.. the answer would be No. Cisco was in about 25% of the networks that I have worked on... and this is simply because smaller companies/home businesses just don't need to place certain technologies into their business. The price really can't be justified.

Long term though, Cisco is not going downhill any time soon. So yes, I would invest time/money into them.
