In the long run I think the changes will be for the better. I'll miss some of the reward payout but if it means more people vote on my posts, I think it will be a net positive. Not only that but the SPS / DOA could possibly help democratize how project are funded which could lead to a more active development community. You should take a look at the proposals that have already been submitted and cast a vote or two (Assuming any are to your liking).
