I'm familiar with Bentley systems, due to having a mechanical engineer background., mainly form their product MicroStation. If I'm very honest, I do not think that for us, hobby users this is a good move at all. For high end / pro users yes, this may turn out to be a good move, but for the rest, I seriously doubt it. Now we all know that the ladt few years, E-On was already focussing more and more on the high end users, so this doesn't come as a surprise at all. E-On has clearly shown that they prefer a different user base then home/hobby users, cutting back on that end slowly, but surely. This is just the next step up.

This move can go 2 ways in time to come. Either Bentley will swallow up the expertise, implementing it in their own software and ending the Vue line completly. Or they will keep Vue, but since their focus is on pro users, they will end the Vue Artist and Enthusiast line, only keeping the pro line. I'm going for the second one.
