It popularity isn't gonna decrease based on emo shit/deviation from the comics. That's what has made it mainstream. Comic fan quarrels does not = mainstream audience disenchantment. If and when Spidey4 comes out, it will be successful or a failure based on what it does on it's own. As with any franchise there will be a slight dropoff as time goes on, but its still a box office powerhouse and it's credibility hasn't been tarnished yet.
Whether or not Tobey returns is a big factor as well. The mainstream crowd won't care if Raimi directs or not until after the fact. (take for instance X3, aside from hardcore fans not many people were aware or turned off by Singer not returning). Same with Batman Forever.
But as for the big chunk of fans, they're still there. And as for the small amount of disgruntled comic/spidey fans, they're gonna be there at midnight or opening day either way, probably myself included.
