Probably not. Bitcoin is yet in it's development state. It has so much more to go through and just look at the rising rate of the people who uses bitcoin.
I am, by nature, a pessimist and everything will become nothing in the end, including bitcoin. I know that all those altcoins I see on Cryptsy and Yobit are going to bite the dust at some point--and I'd bet money that that's going to happen well before bitcoin bites it. Entropy always wins out in the end. Always.
It depends how you define "use". If you define "use" as a way of stroing your money, like gold today for example, than it will be used. But for everyday to day transactions in your grosser store or petrol station it might not be very useful due to 10 min or more, confirmation time.
Not IMO. Definitely not going to disappear, as the bitcoin network and the code will always be there and open.
But unused? Still very, very slim chance. I wouldn't say it's going to become unused, it's almost impossible. Take a look at something like credit cards or cash. Many years pass and they are still used.

I think bitcoins have a good futur. not much people use them and there is no real use for these people. The problem is that the people that doesn't use it is the majority of the planet. And you, what do you think about this? Will bitcoins have a glorious future?
Just because most people don't use bitcoin now doesn't mean they won't use bitcoin later. Sure, I believe that bitcoin won't really ever grow out of the stereotype that only people who use the Internet often use bitcoin, but I'm positive that bitcoin will expand to many, many more people. Merchants are sometimes pressured by clients to accept bitcoin, and sometimes the merchants themselves begin to accept bitcoin because of the fact that there is a wide audience of bitcoin-ers. Plus, there are plenty of people who think that the concept and details of bitcoin are highly interesting and then get into bitcoin like that (such as me).
I don't think that it will ever disappear, because there's a lot of money to be made, even if you counter out all the advantages it has as a currency,
and a point of value media.
Another point is that it's also the very first crypto currency, and that it's decentralized - so it can't be controlled or simply shut down.
