Whichever side of the argument you fall on, I feel that people generally have unrealistic expectations with regard to things like development and adoption.  Whether you're pro or anti towards LN, in the grand scheme of things, Lightning is still in its infancy.  I don't know if people need a reminder about this when it should be blatantly obvious, but Lightning on mainnet is only two years old.  Just because adoption may be slow at the moment, it doesn't mean that will continue to be the case after a few more years of refinement. 

I get that some of you are still bitter that the community didn't choose your preferred scaling solution, but that doesn't put you in a position to "call time" on what's been done so far.  There's also no evidence to support the notion that Bitcoin would somehow be more widely used than it is now if things had gone differently and the community had opted for bigger blocks.  By all means, stick to your entrenched, dogmatic viewpoints about how LN is supposedly evil, though.  It doesn't change anything, other than maybe the perception it gives others of how petty you are.
