Looking at the collective body of work that Gibson puts out, once cannot say that they are sitting still.
Yes, everyone gripes and kvetches every time they try something new, and posts things like "Gibson R&D should be shot fired and shot again", but, hey, they're trying. I'm sure they could get on making Les Pauls and SG's and 335's forever, but I personally appreciate that they try new things.
From the Eye, to the Reverse and Holy instruments, subtle variations on classic themes like the above. Heck, the Flying V's we love so much started as one of these same deals and was met with as much "this sucks, they're insane" at the time. I don't like them all, but I do find it odd that pretty much every time they come up with something, everyone wants to trash it right away.
Jeesus. I'm going to go have a Sidecar, because apparently, as guitar players, we're stuck in the 50's.
