i have heard it said that lots of different competing node types would be healthy for bitcoin.

Whoever said that is a moron, it's the opposite of the truth.

If the object of the game is to agree on which transactions/blocks are valid, then why would you introduce a competition? Competition and agreement are opposing concepts; it's not possible to agree with a proposition whilst also simultaneously contesting it. Bitcoin runs on consensus, and competing nodes is anti-consensus, by definition.

Does it really matter and does there have to be a winner i have heard it said that lots of different competing node types would be healthy for bitcoin.

Correct, that's why it doesn't really matter which side wins, because whoever does is because they have a good, working team.

Classic has a good team? Cheesy

This must be a terrible joke.

You'd know if you had joined for the right reasons.

It depends on when you entered bitcoin world, if you have waited long then you should stay as staying can be profitable in future.

So you're only here because of (potential) profit?

leaving this would be just admitting a failure, i'm going to see how it will resolve in the end, i'm sure it will be sorted out in some way

and bitcoin it's not about a central figure, i'm staying with the decentralized nature of it, so if dev abandon the ship other dev will emerge, devs counts nothing here they are just coders

don't give importance to them because by the time you do so, you're thinking about a centralized system....

as long as Bitcoin develops further...

Can't really do that without real developers and engineers.

It doesn't really matter to me personally, as long as the impact on the price isn't drastic.

I voted for it does not matter what side wins. Why? For me this is a religious question. I want to see Bitcoin to be successfull. If all people would have this in mind we would not have such a tricky situation.

I'm uncertain as to which position is more stupid: 1) Not knowing (ignorance); 2) Not caring (disinterested). I'm leaning more towards your position. What do you think is going to happen if you let Bitcoin be taken over by a small group of inexperienced developers being backed by a corporation (Coinbase)? Take a wild guess.

the only negative point i see is when bitcoin classic indeed wins the battle (which i don't think will happen), then a certain group can stand up and create bitcoin ultimate for example, to take over classic.

That's definitely not the only point because:

All I know is that I know nothing.

it depends!
if bitcoin takes a hit because of the change and major developers leave and give the development of bitcoin to some few that lead it to ruins i would not stay because i don't want to watch something i liked die.

I am a normal bitcoin user and I do not have any special support to any side. So what I care for is to keep btc alive, whether side win in this debate, I would continue using it

i am a bitcoin core supporter, but let's pretend bitcoin classic takes over, then i will continue to stay as i believe in the future of bitcoin. the only negative point i see is when bitcoin classic indeed wins the battle (which i don't think will happen), then a certain group can stand up and create bitcoin ultimate for example, to take over classic. and i'm sure that it will happen. it will be group against group. and at the end the only loser will be bitcoin.

This depends on what exactly happens after a controversial HF is activated. However, since Classic is moving away from the "just Core with a 2 MB block size limit" model and adding some undesirable "features" it is more likely that I'd abandon Bitcoin.

The approch Mike had - to leave - was not good neither for Bitcoin, neither for him (imho).
I understand that this involves much more politics than a dev would like, but leaving is usually not the best way to fight for your views.

It was always about politics. The people behind the controversial HF's aren't what I'd call 'excellent developers' anymore.

It is a hope of a large number of bitcoin users that it will get success sooner in the coming future.

Mostly because they're greedy (hoping that the price will go up).

i am not gonna leave bitcoin just because one side won. as long as bitcoin is alive and still being used either for trading or small shopping i will continue to use bitcoin and support it anyway i can.

and i don't think the situation is so black and white, it is not going to be win or lose there should be a consensus or it's not gonna work out for either sides.

I definitely wouldn't automatically stay. Devs on both sides have zero experience of economics and them trying to tinker without taking that into account, or worse, thinking they know something about it, could send it to hell.

If there's one thing this thing has in spades it's the naivety and greed of the people involved. I don't believe most of these guys have enough long term vision and I'd walk if it was looking bad.

So I also have a faith that it will be established in the future in all over the world and will sooner become a global currency.

Bitcoin can be only one. All the rest are altcoins.
The approch Mike had - to leave - was not good neither for Bitcoin, neither for him (imho).

I understand that this involves much more politics than a dev would like, but leaving is usually not the best way to fight for your views.

I'd say stay and make your point of view stong and loudly heard. But whether that will be the direction taken or not, stay.

I agree. Try to learn to love the ride.

How would one determine whether his side lost? Say if Classic got 75% and successfully forked, the Core could still stick around and try to take the "power" back when Classic's model proves to be faulty. The same other way around, Classic can fail to get 75% now, but could get there later on when people are disappointed with Core's model.

The ride never ends. Learn to love it.
