It seems to me that the idea of supersymmetry will have the same fate as the idea of an aether. But physics wasn't stuck at the heydays of the aether theory and it is also not stuck now. There is much more to physics than just supersymmetry:

But maybe some fresh ideas from other fields of physics are necessary for particle physics. The problem it seems to me is that the people working in high energy physics and string theory are often very narrow minded and are ignoring important developments outside of their own field.
