I have never been a fan of the so called BitcoinCash, and I do not think that I will ever be one. Bitcoin is definitely better than BitcoinCash, and I'm yet to fully understand why they will make a copy of Bitcoin, when they know the new coin isn't going to be even half as good as the original. For the sake of the people invested in it, I hope it does better.

The fork was necessary because in Bitcoin is no longer any Bitcoin in it, only the name remains.
The code changes where so drastic that it vastly differentiate form Satoshis code.
Bitcoin Cash maintains/continues Satoshis code and vision and only increased block size from 2Mb to 8Mb, a necessary upgrade.
Bitcoin has become a bankers vision with establishing banking channels which they can refuse to do so if need be.

Lightning Network is literally a 3rd party custodian based banking system.
The heard and soul of Satoshis whitepaper
"A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution." is no more with ~~Bitcoin~~.

Bitcoin Lightning inside.
Bitcoin Cash Satoshi inside.
