When SegWit is released in a few months, confidential transactions will be right around the corner

  That only keeps the amount transferred private, not the addresses. Also, it has nothing to do with segwit, it was proposed well before segwit was a thing.

    Doesn't segwit allow for softforks?

  Everything is around the corner in bitcoinland... Lightning networks, confidential transactions, improved performance, etc etc... It's a very crowded corner and it only seems to get more crowded!
