I don't especially like the 15 minute curation thing, and I don't like losing half my voting power after delegating (although it could be fair), but overall, I think the hardford is excellent. I don't get 30 bots following me anymore right after I post, and then keep unfollowing until I post again. I can look for new posts using tags, and it's not flooded with spam anymore. Something had to be done about that. I'm very happy with the hardfork because of that.
