Looking forward to what Core delivers next in the short term and over the next year to make off chain scaling a reality.

Now that's some good news that I'd love to hear and confirm.
As I said a few days ago, I've always been in favor of applying segwit as a whole to the bitcoin network as it was only supposed to get us better. I'm talking about a faster network with lower transaction fees.
But at that time it never came across my mind that it might come as a hard fork. And when I realized it, it really upset me. I wanted it be as an "upgrade" to bitcoin itself or as they call it a "soft" fork. Other than that wouldn't really be good.
Since, a lot of people are in favor of it, a lot would've actually invested in it and left btc behind. Which means they'd clearly be doing damage to btc itself and I think the idea from the beginning was to improve.
Although scaling is an issue, but this wasn't the right suggestion as a solution to it in the first place.
