I do think it will be a while before anyone is able to do the tricks ala
Claude Young, DJ Craze, Kid Koala, Scratch Pickles, Cox, any other
turntablist. Digital still doesn't have "that sound" that vinyl has. It's
hard to fake it.
When anyone starts talking about a well worn format going away I really have
to doubt it. Vinyl will never go away 100%. People will want to produce on
it because of the tangability of it, the collectable factor (mp3s will never
fetch the amount of money some vinyl does), and the warm analogue sound.

whose to say a simpler, more intuitive interface can't be created?

your records can warp, your needles can break. There are problems with
every medium.
Imagine if there was a good digital solution! You wouldn't have to spend
thousands of dollars on a lathe and $30 for a blank acetate that wears out
after 20 plays.
The point that everyone's missing is that a better solution can be
devised. True, vinyl is still the best solution. But we're quickly
approaching a point where it won't be anymore. it won't be long till
someone comes up with a truly elegant and intuitive interface for mixing
digitally.
Pretending it won't happen is silly.
