Absolutely, Hubble can see in the optical and near-UV, while James Webb will be limited to the infrared. "Limited" is one way of putting it, it'll be immensely valuable in finding astrophysical phenomena and also distant Solar System objects (Perhaps yet bigger Pluto's orbiting in the distance).
We also need specialized spacecraft in the vein of Terrestrial Planetary Finder and definitely a follow-on mission of Kepler, as well as ground-based planet-finding telescopes like Colossus: http://the-colossus.com/ http://the-colossus.com/ .
We could also use a systematic search for solar systems similar to [KIC 8462852](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KIC_8462852 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KIC_8462852).
