Yes, it's bound to become part of the native workflow.  It's even superior to C4D's new bevel tool, and Maxon built an entire release around that feature.  The quesiton is, will AD make it a modifier, like Marius's version of it, or will they just incorporate quad chamfering into the current chamfer tool, as an extended parameter.  My personal opinion is that it should be a modifier, just as Marius had created it.  This allows for the most versatility, and ease of use, and allows you to do a lot more things with it than just chamfer edges.

While you are at it, bandolin, you might want to incorporate VG's Megabevel into your modeling workflow.  It's totally free, and compatible with Max 8 or higher.  This powerful bevel modifier not only expands on the standard bevel tool in 3dsmax, as a modifier, but also incorporates many interesting parameters and features that I have not seen done with a bevel tool in any other modeling package.  Very useful.
