The people will decide if bitcoin core or bitcoin XT will be the alt coin. But in my opinion bitcoin XT will be the future of bitcoin, bigger blocks allow innovation within the bitcoin space.

Bigger blocks with questionable codes? Bitcoin Core will soon support >1 MB maximum block size. A good solution is not yet found but at least, it will be increased temporarily.

Edit: I prefer BIP 100. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bip-100-and-bip-101-i-like-both-1161622

Most people support bigger blocks, and the major one who doesn't is BlockStream which controls 3 of the 5 bitcoin core developers.

Nothing is turning. Please stop spreading false information. Do you know what a BIP is? Bitcoin improvement proposal? If person X supports a BIP, that does not mean that they support fork Y just because it has implemented it.
Supporting BIP 101 =/= supporting XT.

Anyone that tells you otherwise is spreading FUD, less bitcoin already be an altcoin due to previous forks.

Yeah obviously people like, e.g. theymos and luke are spreading FUD.

In our opinion, BIP 101 should be pulled into Bitcoin Core.

BIP101 (and BIP100 as well) is gaining strength, caused by XT. That's the only thing that's important. The core devs (small blockers; blockstreamers) are forced to act now (vulgo: to raise the limit), if they want to stay in the game.

There is no altcoin until there are two supported and surviving chains, which is economically unfeasible. Anyone that tells you otherwise is spreading FUD, less bitcoin already be an altcoin due to previous forks.

Yes, if only the mods and some trolls here would understand it!

Bitcoin Core is always the Original. Any modifications need to be done to Bitcoin Core only. Yes, Bitcoin XT is just like other Altcoin, when it comes with a fork.

Update:
turvarya: this is not a appeal to authority. I never stated that because of their positions they are probably correct (in anything that they say). I'm just not expecting normal people like theymos and luke to spread FUD (considering the behavioral patterns of members that actually do this). Stop twisting the debate back into attacks and nonsense.
Update 2: No, you're not going to drag me into this again.

It's true.

Zara, you won't get your altcoin unless people (users & miners alike) actually want it, so until then, stop slandering XT Grin

It's just an alternative client, like you guys say.

alt-client, anyone?

Considering this represents the economic majority (I think?), I think /u/theymos may now need to reconsider treatment of XT as an altcoin. :/
