BU has proven to be unreliable, untested software developed by amateurs, who the hell is still delusional enough to support those guys instead of Core?

I am.

It's time to wake up and admit defeat, Core wins again.

Wins how?  Is SegWit activated?

BU is joining the list of hardfork attempts that failed along with XT and Classic soon.

Perhaps. Or perhaps not.  Time will tell.

Core calls the shoots

And you don't see a problem with that? Isn't bitcoin supposed to be more open than that?

and everyone copies then, then they tweak something here and there and manage to fuck up bigly.

Bigly?  Nah.  Just a small bug.  It's happened to Core as well.  They aren't gods. They're just human like the rest of us, and have their own share of bugs in the past.

We are lucky BU is irrelevant. If this happened and BU was as big as Core is, we would have ended up in a tricky ETH/ETC style situation with the consequent disaster.

Perhaps.  Perhaps not.  It would be interesting to find out.

Looks like some guys will never learn. They think magic solutions exists to the current issues, BU being nothing but a failed magic trick attempt.

Can't argue with logic like that.

Now if they could behave as adults and start signaling for segwit as advice by every expert on the field including Andreas Antonopoulos, we could move on from this mess and continue improving.

You've got a strange definition of "expert" there.  Perhaps it would be better if Core would behave as adults and start signaling for larger blocks?
