Even we had buggy altcoin project like Bitcoin Unlimited - failing with every new update, but some fanatics were still blind.
People never realized that Core is the truly the best development team until it was too late and we had this idiotic BCH split.
Time will tell how good developing process of bitcoin-alt will be, so far Core is winning hands down. I can't wait to update my BTC Core to 0.15.
Indeed, the problem is, Jeff Garzik, Barry Sillbert and everyone involved in the NYC agreement are ignored the fact that the best devs are rejecting the segwit2x hardfork. They just don't care about technical facts apparently.
We had Wang Chun from f2pool already dropping from the agreement. My hope is that this paves the way for more miners and merchants to drop the NYC agreement, otherwise we are going to crash and crash very badly, if we end up with 3 fucking bitcoins. We are going through a correction now, the least we need is to have another hardfork right when the correction ends because this could end up in a chain reaction all the way down, and segwit2x camp (big blocker camp) would be to blame once again.
