I find it interesting that most of the
loud voices are big into litecoin when litecoin's current anti-dust relay/mining policy is far more aggressive than anything proposed for Bitcoin.
I could really care less about Litecoin. I just know the price will go up when it hits Gox so it is currently a good investment.
Killing microtransactions hinders a good chunk of my business model that would definitely add inherent value to Bitcoin.
