My PERSONAL experience:

SD9: great resolution but bad colors, too yellow; personally I didn't like this camera at all (borrowed from a friend)

SD10 (my first serious digital camera): a little less resolution than SD9, but much better colors- surprisingly large prints are possible

DP1: good resolution, but colors still off (too stark); wasn't too crazy about this little thing (one day, it just suddenly died)

DP1M, DP2M, DP3M, SD1M: fantastic resolution, colors much better; love these cameras. Correct exposure is paramount.

DPQ 0, SDQ: can yield great results when files are carefully exposed and processed; colors different from Merrills. Having DNG files is great option. Also multi-shot mode produces clean files.

BEST RESULTS for all cameras: Landscape and city scape photography. Not people skin tones.

Especially latest cameras (from Merrills to Quattros): great for b/w photography, but previous models also.

Sigma failure as a company? No way!

Remember that the Bayer sensor has come a long way since Foveon first came to market, and for Sigma to make a hybrid camera, of course they went Bayer, but they still remain committed to the Foveon sensor, even if and when they face difficulties with the FF development.
