Those who are truly pissed off at bitcoin have jumped ship and promote on-chain scaling like bcash and faketoshi's vision.

It's also worth pointing out that it's not just the BCH/SV crowd who appear to have jumped ship.  I often wonder what happened to some of the militant hardcore "1mb forever" fanatics who used to post here frequently but now stay silent?  Some of them clearly weren't happy with the capacity increase provided by SegWit.  You can tell it's probably the right course of action if the extremists on both sides of the debate didn't like it

I'm not sure they were like the BCH crowd mentioned

Many of them were likely arguing in favor of "1mb forever" not because they actually were against SegWit (Lightning Network) or anything to that tune but rather because they felt they should have taken a more radical approach in fighting the BCH zealots, not being quite happy and content with the soft opposition to big blocks that the BlockStream members had turned to. In other words, they were not so much against the BlockStream camp as they were against the BigBlocks gang
