Correct, especially if you have a large amount of hashrate, that 1% pool fee may mean real money over the course of a year.
Plus if pools ever get pressured to KYC miners p2pool will be there to absorb all the refugees. P2P is the future of pool mining.

This.
If the economic fundamentals support p2pool then the money/power will follow. There will always be a holdout of users but such is the marketplace of ideas. Plus it’ll make it easier to spot the glowies!
Hoping that p2pool gets some more noob-friendly coverage, guides and UIs to help this trend.
