JPEG2000 doesn't solve any problems experienced by web users, nor does it provide anything extra for print. It =does= solve myriad problems for archivists (but requires some extra investment to take advantage of those solutions--you really need a JPEG2000 server), so I don't see it going away--perhaps slowly getting some support in tools, and slowly replacing TIFF as the archival format of choice.
