DASH's ability to centrally control development and network parameters is a problem in other areas, as it de-incentivises developers to build utility on the chain at low cost.
I rather have Dash somewhat centralized spork technology to safely guard Dash through its updates, then risk having the network fork during these updates.
There are idea's floating around to make that spork technology less centralized in the future, by putting it in the hands of masternodes to vote over.
What i dont see is how it directly de-incentivizes developers to build utility on the chain on low cost, Dash Evolution itself will be decentralized and future services can then
easily get build upon the block chain or added to Dash decentralized platform at low cost.
The thing i'm looking forward to the most with Dash Evolution is that it enables Dash to create a sort of meeting place where merchants can offer their services / products and users can search for
producs / services / merchants. This will be all directly linked to the blockchain through blockchain user / merchants accounts and a rating system.
Basicly in time (and yes it will take some time) it will form one big internal Dash blockchain-connected shopping mall, which will grow exponentially.
