The way I see it, I don't care if traditional animation dies out if all were going to get is some crap that is only fit to keep little kids busy every now and then. I'd rather have nothing than bother watching that and I'd tell all the kids to go outside and play.

That said, traditional animation won't just "die out." That point of view is ridiculous. Computer technology is making it very easy to create traditional animation these days. A number of people are creating some interesting things as a result. I'd look to someone coming from a non-studio to create the next big thing.
