Out of interest, how have people found things since segwit activation?

I've noticed that fees seem a lot lower and things seem to happen faster?

I think to some extent the big block crew are correct. Ethereum works great with quick blocktimes mostly, other than during ICO peak periods, which bitcoin doesn't really have.

Segwit only got activated on the network. That means it is possible to use it, not that it is being used. There is still no difference that Segwit made, since almost no one uses it yet. Wallets need some time to start implementing it and Lightning Networks need to pop up as well in due time. There might not be any drastic changes over night, we could just see a gradual adoption.

Fees are lower, but that is just the network. Maybe due to some Bitcoin Cash users leaving Bitcoin, since the split, other then that, just business as usual. Sometimes fees are high, sometimes low, but they are definitely better now.
