Just reading about LN and to me it sounds brilliant, why are people weary of it? what am i missing? is it because we need Segwit first?

Well, the majority of Bitcoiners is in favor of LN and SegWit (which is for itself a great improvement). Only a few people led by former Core developers Gavin "C.Wright is Satoshi" Andresen and Mike "Ragequit" Hearn and supported by the ruthless narcissist Roger "CENSORSHIP!" Ver are actually preferring to scale Bitcoin purely on-chain, thereby destroying network decentralization by making it impossible for most users to run a full node.
I have no doubts that SegWit will activate in the next few months, maybe even at year end. That will increase block capacity significantly and free time for LightningNetwork deployment. As I've read recently, G. Maxwell has even another capacity and privacy improvement for Bitcoin in the works. So in terms of progress in Bitcoin development, I've never been more optimistically than today. There are really smart guys working at Core, who really care about preserving the decentralized nature of the Bitcoin network.
ya.ya.yo!
Well that is good and hope upon implementation, it will improve transaction time and speed. I wish this feature t be sucessful since this is for the enhancement of bitcoin and its services. Looking forward.
