When I got my first scope 20 odd years ago a 6" reflector was classed as a large amateur telescope and a decent GEM mount was pretty expensive to a working fella. Nowadays they are pretty well entry level and much more affordable. Quality has improved too.
I doubt there will be many major changes in the basic scope/eyepiece design side. Probably more and improved electronics.
Wireless comms for guiding and imaging, getting rid of the birds nest of cables needed at the moment would be my ideal.
