I personally think that Ubisoft not completely forgetting Rayman is an anniversary present all on it's own.

Ubisoft denied in a magazine interview that it was a reboot back in development of the game.
As for "what is Rayman now", I think as long people keep telling their own opinions out loud (and by this I do not mean spamming the facebook page for a Rayman 4), Ubisoft will be aware to what fans want.
I am waiting for a 3D platformer since 2003 and I will still be.

It was. It forgot entirely about Rayman's original essence and redefined worlds and personalities to turn it into "Ubiart, the videogame".
Not willing to say that's a bad thing... after all, Rayman wasn't a big deal back then compared to other mascots, and Rayman Origins had a huge impact in the modern videogame industry, especially among artists and animators.
Of course you guys are gonna say that it isn't a reboot, because clearly the timeline is somehow intact (well...most of it). But it was the entire change of direction that, for me, made it into a reboot.
Only Rayman, a franchise that evolved as technology advanced from 2d platformers to 3d, would go back to 2d... with a 2d game that doesn't even play similar to the original 2d game. And of course, after 4 entries (I'm also counting the apps), Rayman still sticks to the 2d UbiArt-ish formula.
Saying that Rayman Origins isn't a reboot is like saying that Spyro's Skylanders isn't a reboot just because none of the events from previous Spyro games are denied or replaced, even though the game is a completely different thing. Sure, that would count as a spin-off, but instead, it replaced what originally was there, and that's what the Origins formula is doing to the Rayman franchise.

Skylanders cannot be a reboot because it is not a Spyro game to begin with. It is its own series that just happened to have Spyro as playable character. It would be like saying NBA Street V3 is a Mario reboot because Mario is playable character in the game.

Pretty much, yeah. Completely different style of game, completely different cast of characters, completely different tone. Rayman Origins just did the job to connect the wires and make both somewhat part of the same timeline.

Actually, there have been hints in the Skylanders comic books that Skylanders Spyro is actually related to the Classic Spyro, but that's off topic.

It's not a 3D game I'm personally itching for, but more of a change in style. The "wacky" style was great for two games, but Rayman has always been about doing new things. I would love even a new 2D platformer as long as it took the series in a different direction.
Also, I miss David Gasman. But what can you do?

Rayman 2 had to be 3D as it was at a time where you had to go 3D or be unsuccessful... Rayman Origins was literally going back to the original charm of the first game which I loved, especially after all the rabbids crap that they kept churning out. But I agree, Rayman has always changed and adapted to the newest technology etc. so I hope the next big game is at least in a different style.
