Well, it is often used as a 'stepping stone'* to introduce people to software, e.g program 'windows' are like papers on a desk.

I can see us having skeumorphic icons for Play, Mail, Paintbrush etc for some time yet.

*Even our language is skeumorphc, since we borrow words used for real objects to describe more abstract concepts.
