They will all eat dust. I think GPU mineable algos will be the upcoming trend. There is a big niche, a big community and a big market (gpu miner) waiting to become loyal supporters.
The more powerful ASIC becomes, more powerful will be the asic-resistant algos.
Those projects who were after easy money and gave up soon will regret later, when real competition enters.

GPU miners will always have something to mine. When BTC moved to ASICs, scrypt happened, then X11, then ethash and equihash. The main issue nowadays is that Bitmain has achieved such scale that they can ramp up production faster, assuming coins are worthwhile to manufacture an ASIC for.
When the other miners move from the other coin, it will be a disaster due to the fact that, our profitability ration will be much lower.

Personally I'm very disappointed to read this, ZenCash was a big reason I really ramped up my GPU mining farm. Today they have officially stated that they will not be forking to a new mining algorithm, what are your thoughts on this?

EDIT - Update - Streamed my 2c on this, tons of community feedback in the live chat (which can be seen as the video is replayed)
