Seriously what did you expect was going to happen?

I have also been against premine/instamine coins for a long time and I don't like masternodes. I am a self proclaimed noob investor and have nothing to do with XMR but have appreciated Smooth's critique-ing even my own major investment SDC. I think that DASH broke their social contract while very young and should have had a relaunch instead of a rebrand. I have stated it many times as many people all over this forum have.

Also, I recently started buying AEON due to it's mobile abilities. I think that if we do get low power consumption embedded devices, AEON might be a good bet and with Smooth's background with Cryptonite it makes sense for him to take AEON over. Everyone can hate on Smooth but sometimes he says what others are scared of or have shy-ed away from confronting previously. Similar to so many others except that he usually has tech info rather than "neener neener your coin is teh sucks". Personally I would rather have a scholar who can't keep his mouth shut over a strategist in the shadows pulling strings. Just my two satoshi as an investor in many coins over the years.
