These kinds of forks are exciting, holders of the forked asset have their asset holdings effectively double (despite one or the other dropping in value).
I disagree with the intervention of the Ethereum community in the recovery of stolen funds, but I don't hold Ethereum in the first place so I don't really have a place expressing my opinion on the matter.
Their time for such hard-forks is running out though, they're planning (rumoured from earlier in the year) to switch to some form of Proof of Stake. The miners had their say in this switch, next time it'll be the investors!
