This is excellent news, genuinely happy about this. Just in time for more transactions & increased adoption after the halving when the price will spike
That's one small step for a bitcoin, one giant leap for Bitcoin-kind.
When is activation? I am still in two minds, if this is good or bad for Bitcoin. We need scaling, and we need innovation... but is this the only solution? Who benefits the most out of this? There are still
some unanswered questions

There's a contradiction here: you've been making concerned gestures for a while, but you're telling us today that you haven't spent enough time answering your own questions about Segwit. I don't know what to say, er, the truth is out there? Are you sure you care about this subject as much as you make out?

some unanswered questions.. but at least we are moving forward with something. I feel like someone with multiple personalities syndrome.
... We waited a long time for SegWit and now that it's
here, it's a bit of a anti climax. Well hopefully this will silence some people now.

So finally the big upgrade we all were waiting for is coming!
Thanks to all developers and reviewers for their hard and passionate work.
Well done guys! This is a great day!

I was closely following the situation regarding the merge. As soon as I left my house, as my laptop is running reindex, it got merged. 
Anyhow, this is great news. RC1 will hopefully be released soon.

That is not yet known at this time. I am still in two minds, if this is good or bad for Bitcoin. We need scaling, and we need innovation... but is this the only solution?
This is innovative scaling, unlike a block size increase. 
After months of testing, coding, and work, Segregated Witness has finally been merged into Bitcoin Core: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8149.
Now that it has been merged, there are a few things that need to be done before release, and many things that will come after Segwit that builds upon it: https://bitcoincore.org/en/2016/06/24/segwit-next-steps/.
