I think bitcoin has grown large enough that it can handle a split. Currently it holds close to a monopoly on coins. Just in naming of bitcoin vs altcoin. I think the split could drive serious competition and help develop the platform further.

do you really think that a split would really result in two competing coins? Bitmain has what is essentially a premine for their hard fork...

That is not what pre-mine means. Pre-mined is when someone creates a coin and then mines a significant portion of them before anyone else even knows about it. Bitcoin isn't a new coin.
