Depends on your point of view.... If you want a digital gold and don't care too much about payments, segwit not activating may be a good thing. It is a strong indication of how hard it is to change Bitcoin, and may even be an indication Bitcoin will never change in a major way again - a strong confirmation of exactly what you'd want from Bitcoin.
