I think the concerns centre around the potential for a conflict of interests and visions between the steem community and the tron 'owners' of the steem development team. I agree that the community has the power to carry on with 'steem classic' etc. - however, to achieve that will require a lot of co-ordination or investment from another entity in order to put together a specialist development team.. Which so far hasn't happened. I guess the best outcome is that Tron invests in Steem and it's DApps, as you said. I need to research Tron some more - I'd like to know more about why they haven't succeeded in inspiring engagement on their own platform and so are motivated to buy Steem. There's always a lot of hype around these kinds of situations, which we can see by the press referencing 1 million accounts on Steem - even though there are only really about 50k active users or so.
I literally just finished writing the first page of SEO friendly text for a new digital marketing agency I am launching and mentioned Steem a few times.. Maybe I need to edit it to Steem Tron?

hehe! watch out for fast moving steem trons.
btw, the only reason to make steem classic is if we want to fork out justins stake / steemit inc stake.
otherwsise, it remains as it is, probably steempeak becomes the new front end of choice and steemit operates on tron separately. at which time we all get a LOAD of steemtron tokens. win win i think. very litle chance of down side here in my opinion
yes, i understand the motive for steem classic - it's basically the same motive that ultimately sparked that 'scare' a few months ago when people actually created a hardfork to remove steemit inc from the steem blockchain.
i think a huge part of the strength of steem comes from it's community and the embracing of the freedom / anarchic principles that started it. success really depends on tron's team understanding/respecting this or spelling out how they intend to improve on it. if steemit goes to tron, then there will not be any steem blockchain developers to improve the steem blockchain - assuming that steemit is focused on working with whatever is based on the tron/steem tokens (which the press release seems to be saying is indeed what will happen). So in other words, without a new development team springing up from somewhere, steempeak would just be running on the current state of the steem blockchain, without prospect of upgrade. Obviously this is all speculation, but I imagine Tron will want to consolidate as much activity and ingenuity as possible.. It's up to them to make an intelligent offer to the existing steem community. I imagine people are nervous because such an empathic level of connection with a large community is not easy and the level of communication so far does not suggest it is going to manifest! We shall see.
