Heh, no need to fud the status quo.

So you're okay with losing marketshare to alts while we wait for the fabled segwit/LN or whatever which won't be ready til god knows when?
Segwit is coming independent from LN. Segwit isn't far away and is definitely not going to take longer (at this point) than a properly designed HF would.
