I think the modelling will get very. very good and become very popular for recording.  However, I think the "old school" valve approach will stay just like the Les Paul and the Strat.

it'll almost get as good as tubes, but it won't be able to get as much dynamics as a valve amp.

  i think unless they add the speaker reaction with the tube amp and how it reacts it will never get close..just my 2 cents

I definitely don't think the answer to the second question is "don't be stupid"!  Digital modelling is avancing rapidly - it may never quite match valves, but it'll be as near as dammit.  Valve amps will always be there, but they may become more of a niche market.
