As a SCH main, I don't want it get taken away and I'll definitely get upset if the solution is yet again "delete it" instead of working on the flaws. If someone wants to play SCH without ED then I'll kindly direct them towards SGE.
If the choice is only "get it taken away or keep it" then I'll always choose "keep it" because this and Dissipation is the last, sad bit of a skill ceiling we have left since it allows us to optimize a bit more even if the reward is boring. At least the path to optimizing it is still fun, requires coordination and a little bit of skill.
If they could rework it into something far better then by all means, go ahead.
But just deleting it? No. And from the reactions many other SCH mains seem to feel the same. SE has a habit of just deleting things without giving anything back. That is exactly the reason why we are where we are and part of the playerbase is definitely also guilty of pushing for just deleting something instead of reworking it into something better.
