Thanks achow for your answer,
The others were saying if Lightning Network was possible without SegWit and it is true? or SegWit was becoming a responsibility for Lightning Network.

Lightning is certainly possible without segwit, it is just a lot harder to implement and more complex. Segwit makes lightning easier to implement and less susceptible to failure.

Why bitcoin core has opted the complex softfork rather than be implemented into hardfork with more simply and cleaner.

As I said earlier, hard forks are neither simple nor clean. Even implementing segwit as a hard fork would not be simple nor cleaner. Either you break every single unconfirmed transaction, or you go through the pain of a hard fork for basically no reason as the things that would require hard forking can and are already done in a way to allow soft forks.

adoption takes time, why?

Because people are testing the software and upgrading custom software. Also a lot of pools seem to not support segwit for some reason.

when we can expect >90%?

We can't predict the future, no one knows.

Achow101...

Great that you have a lot of patience answering apparent trolls.

Yeah, at first, maybe we can give them some benefit of the doubt, but when they keep insisting on the bigblocker talking points while claiming to not understand technicalities while at the same time suggesting that seg wit is "too complex" and suggesting that a hard fork is preferable to a soft fork... blah blah blah, we certainly can get the sense that they are disingenuous, just bringing over some big blocker nut job talking points.. and likely trolling.
