nxt is the best why use time making this shit.
Because the crypto world is an open-source world. In the abstract, it would be easy for all of us to just join the Nxt world and add any innovations we come up with to Nxt instead. In the abstract...
But in the real world, Nxt already has a direction and a momentum. There's already a core of ~20 developers who are "buddies" and have a collective vision of where they want to see Nxt going. That, of course, comes with success.
But success makes a group "conservative," in the sense of "it ain't broke, don't fix it" and "nothing succeeds like success." What if we have a vision that either clashes with the vision of Nxt's core dev team or comes with priorities that the core team of Nxters think should be put on the back-burner?
In the open-source world, the answer is obvious. "If you don't like it, fork it and go your own way." Well, the NFD team has successfully forked Nxt and we are indeed going our own way!
To be honest, if one of NFD's future innovations gets incorporated into Nxt itself, we'd both approve and take it as a compliment.
But we have our own vision and we're going our own way.
