Anyone having problem with the current Core devs should go and and start their own saints of development team with their own brand and coin.
Actually we pretty much are happy to stick with the devil that we know rather the devil that we don't know.
Luckily, there is growing Bitcoin Unlimited that will protect our money from Core noobs. If I read it correctly, then Bitcoin Core must die.

Let's get real. BU is heavily dependent on core. Look at their builds, massive amounts of code backported from core. Look at all the vulnerabilities in BU identified by core.

If core "died", the Blockchain will be attacked to the point of no return. It will be hard fork after hardfork trying to undo the acts of a malicious hacker. See Etherium hardfork after DAO as an example.

If you have capital or a business heavily invested in Bitcoin, you need core like air, water and shelter. If you are pissed about the scrap of bread, water and a cold dirty floor, find other accommodations. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Pitchforks won't work, only seats at a round table.
