I'm very happy Evan's taken this action. Yes, it's taken guts and it's causing a temporary shuffling of the deck chairs of who's involved, who's no longer wanting to be here (with considerable short term disruption/upset) but he's too good a developer, an entrepreneur and a human being to be taken down
Not to mention more vision in his pinky than most coin devs have with a couple of long range telescopes parked in front of their eyes - plus productivity to boot.
It's taken me a while to come to that conclusion but nights like this where you feel like everything's blowing up in your face one minute and then you sit down and start to see how it pieces together the next are probably part of it.
It reminds me a bit of when Apple ditched the CD ROMS from their laptops. There was total outcry about it and 100 mile long forum threads about how people had stuck with Apple through thick and thin but this was the last straw. Apple probably never thought twice about it - it was obvious to anyone with half a brain that could detach their emotional bonds to history that that piece of overweight junk that occupied 30% of the physical space for half a percent of the storage space had to go. A couple of years later no-one's even arguing and have probably forgotten which side of the debate they were even on.
So it will be here.
