I don't think, I know it will be a lot sooner than 20 years from now that acceptance is greater. It's already made a huge impact on the domain market. One of the most common responses I get nowadays is "why pay you that when the .whatever is available at regfee?" Won't be long before they are saying "free."
there are already a number of .whatever's that people could use, yet the majority don't and sales for .com outnumber everything else by a huge margin. i have a vested interest in .com but i really don't see these new tld's taking much of the market. the people who would only pay $100 (or nothing) for a domain might go for it. otherwise, i just don't see it. all these tld's are the same story all over again, all the best ones held back and auctioned off, leaving nothing much of quality left. not to mention the general public won't even know much about it and added with the fact that there are so many coming out at once, its going to be information overload and i think that will result in people just ignoring it.
