I am just in the group you are talking about, being fed up with Drupal mammoth approach to stepping down on server claiming more and more and at the same time being more complicated to site builders and site users (clients) and YES, I admit I am looking at Ruby with a smile! (on the other hand I do like learning and I will learn it anyway. Just a question that AFTER I do learn it, will I stay on Drupal? Is it worth to me as it used to be?)

Yes, forking is good, it is what the freedom is all about, freedom to fork and to choose.

I've sent personal mail to Nate supporting his decision and I do support yours as it is not the same when small me leaves the boat and core people like yourself do the same. I never feel easy about one man shifting away and others in top Drupal tier should ask themselves what is going on. MANY top developers are not content and except everyone being polite and politically correct, let's be honest and ask yourselves what the heck is happening?!

On the question of BackdropCMS, there are two things I strongly hope for:

1. Build on performance (speed, memory) like Pressflow for Drupal 6, be the real Pressflow 7 (maybe merge there?)

2. Please stay 100% Drupal 7 compatible, both in core and modules. Let's not make new Joomla case (forking outside). The best route would be to change the core for speedup, maybe better semantic, maybe HTML5 but not at expense of compatibility as that would severely damage both projects.

Formatting options

Basic

To post pieces of code, surround them with <code>...</code> tags. For PHP code, you can use <?php ... ?>, which will also color it based on syntax.
Web page addresses and email addresses turn into links automatically, unless the parent tag has the 'nolink' class.
Lines and paragraphs break automatically.
Allowed HTML tags: <a> <em> <strong> <blockquote> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <div> <p> <br> <pre> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <figure> <img> <figcaption> <hr>
