On one hand, it shouldn't come as a surprise - he made it abundantly clear that he was not feeling at ease with Steemit.com. He said he wants to focus on Destiny (a new application on the steem blockchain that should leverage SMTs for ICO and focus on asset transfers, like other blockchains, rather than content)
I'm not sure that is a great idea (sounds like "fighting the last war" to me) but hey, he's a free man!
On the other hand, if we look back at the leadership he has provided here for the past 2 and 1/2 years, would you say that he'll be missed?
Ned stays with the steem blockchain. For the rest, whether he keeps focusing on Steemit.com or not, I don't see a big issue

@sorin.cristescu Not a big deal if he left but a bad impact for him that he abandon what he starting.
I don't think it would necessarily be bad, as long as he stuck with the Steem blockchain @kennyroy.
It might actually be better for the Steem blockchain and the price of Steem, especially if @ned is creating a Steem-based Dapp to launch SMT's.
Then there would be two major companies working on Steem and both founded by @ned.
That was great if ever... Go power!
probably not. it wouldn't make much sense would it?
