Slott has been doing spidey for quite some time and it doesn't seem like he's ending his run anytime soon.
How long do you think Dastardly Dan will keep writting for?

Until the end of the world.
Until the Red Queen marries the Blood Pawn in the Court of the Ravens on the twenty-firstteenth anniversary of the Voloth Manor Massacre.
Only then.

When this happens, he will be done.
Every day is a gift, not a given right.
As long as I say so.
"I should describe my known nature as tripartite, my interests consisting of three parallel and disassociated groups; a) love of the strange and the fantastic, b) love of abstract truth and scientific logic, c) love of the ancient and the permanent. Sundry combinations of these strains will probably account for my...odd tastes, and eccentricities."
It will come before we know it.
A better question might be: who else today has written as many issues of a title as Slott has? Apart from Bendis on Ultimate, I can't think of many….
Rumor has it that Marvel is looking into research on biological immortality, so they can volunteer Slott as a test subject, making him immortal and bestowing on him the esteemed title Great Eternal Writer for Spider-Man comics, Kim Il-Slott. And thus he shall write Spideyto be forever under 30, forever alone, forever clumsy, forever failing, forever damned.
Venting done.
As it stands, he's already written more Spidey comics than anyone else, with the exception of Michelinie; but Slott's very close and will surpass that mark, just with the comics already in the queue. He holds a small advantage over Conway and Lee, and a more sizable one over Mantlo, who I think would complete the top 5, unless there's someone from the 90's, closer to a hundred issues.
Hopefully by the time the next Spider-Man movie is out.
One thing I'm wondering about is how it would end.
Some writers just leave a book, even if stories are unfinished. This kinda happened with Brubaker on Captain America, where he had to be talked into writing a last issue.
For others, the departure is a big production. Loose ends are carefully tied up, and the hero faces challenges that have been built up over years. Mark Waid's current Daredevil seems to be a good example.
