I think the both sides are already done with arguing on the scaling issue of bitcoin and based on the rumor that i heard, the winner is the bitcoin core team which they will apply segwit first and it will add some size for the blocks which is just like what happened in litecoin and it will make transactions faster and it will provide cheaper fees.
Shouldn't the lightning and segwit solutions be tested more thouroghly before we could see these as a good solution to scaling

That is also the news I heard, seems like the decision is going to used the core, there wont be any fork or unlimited amount, so it can be concluded that the scaling problem has been solved, but I havent know the result for sure
i mean how long can the debate last? or is it just gonna keep popping back up into discussion
I think it will either be solved in the next 6 months or never.

If they manage to implement SegWit and the Lightning network, the scaling issues will not be an issue anymore. If they implement bigger blocks with Bitcoin Unlimited, then the scaling problems will stay with us as adoption grows and bigger blocks are needed.
Some people seem to think the 1st of August will be the first step in solving this issue, but it only complicates matters in my opinion. < Chain splits and soft forks will only confuse people >

IIRC there is a segwit agreement that should be being implemented sometime soon and that would be one way to solve the scaling debate, but if something changed and that's not longer what's happening then chances are we're going to be talking about it until another proposal rolls around, or something else happens. I don't know if the community is going to be able to switch on its own to be honest. Agreements and deals seem to be paramount to fixing this.
Soonish, because everyone involved knows that real life people need this problem to be solved if they are actually going to use it. Otherwise the Bitcoin insider crowd is going to look pretty petty and unhelpful, that's for sure.

I have NO IDEA when the scaling problem(s) will be solved, nor how. So I chose the "Bret Favre" option (never).
While I am perturbed (and that's putting it nicely) with the SW v. BU (or whatever the sides call themselves now), and what I also fear & suspect is that all of this will be repeated ad infinitum because the WANKERS will not think long-term... And we will have continuing unnecessary drama every damn year, from now til Kingdom Come.
"A little birdie" some of us know may be working on a *NEW* solution. Will it happen? Will it be any good? Will people accept it over the 700 other coins? We'll see!

In my opinion, scaling problem can be an embedded problem of Bitcoin. Hopefully, before the end of 2017 we can see some solutions already implemented but there is a possibility that soon we can experience some problems again. By that time, we are just hoping that Bitcoin leaders have already some plans on dealing with that. Bitcoin has a scaling problem because it is the number one cryptocurrency and has the most number of transactions everyday.
