I'm ambivalent. It's crazy expensive and will be cool, but with the improvements in satellite constellations, launch capabilities, and sensor aggregation that are coming out over the next 5-10 years, I suspect we're going to get platforms that surpass the JWST's capabilities much sooner than anyone thinks

Maybe, but that's OK! Hubble's still plugging away doing good science. We'll get platforms better than JWST, but it'll be a while before we've got enough telescopes in orbit to fulfill every potential good avenue of research/observation.
