trends in op-amp packages

I'm wondering what will happen to the size of the common op-amp in the next 5 years or so. Now, many new op-amps are no longer available in DIP, and some recent devices are not even available in SOP (1.27mm pin pitch), although at present this seems to be the most universal op-amp package. The use of TSSOP/MSOP (0.65mm pitch) are on the increase and singles in a SOT23-5 (0.95mm pitch) or SC70-5 (0.65mm pitch) appeared to be more preferred.
Is is wise for new designs to avoid SOP packages ?
