Is LN living up to its promise for you?

Me, I didn't have huge expectations for it, maybe because I came into it late, but I'm still prerty geeked on it as a user.

Not fully. The ecosystem got distracted away from encouraging node running and solving pleb problems by stablecoins and suit problems, trying to appeal to nocoiners. ie they went upmarket way too fast.

It lost momentum.

It kinda feels like they were lured in by promises of sick gains.

Do you see developers continuing to lose interest in working on it?

No. I think this kind of sentiment is a bottom signal. Fiat money will continue sucking faster and faster, and people will start using alternatives and lightning is awesome. It's still very complicated, but will continue getting less so.
