A lot of future development will be almost exclusively on web development...which is not his cup of tea. What Steemit need right now is a refreshed front-end, communities and some smart marketing...all things that doesn't require Dan.
It is very sad, but not the worst sign imaginable in my opinion.
I'm sure politics pushed him out indeed but that doesn't mean it's the worst thing imaginable. The founder of bit coin isn't touching the code for 8 years and it's still working.
It may not work out well, but I don't think it should really have anything to do with the long-term success of this platform.
Though @dan was certainly vital in the creation of steemit, now that it exists, there is no reason that it shouldn't be able to exist and succeed without him.

I agree, wise words @cryptoctopus!
That's bs. Thats not why he would leave this way.
A founder will only leave if he is pushed out. Clearly dans vision does not bode well with the investors of steemit and or ned. So what is steem now?

Who do u think is the most important person driving this?
All developers participating to the open source of steemit.com & developers of 3rd party apps on top of the Steem blockchain.
