Can someone explain the current WordPress drama to me? (for idiots)

I use WordPress but personally I don't notice any difference in the platform. I keep hearing the name "Matt and Otto" and I have no idea what the two of them have done. Apparently Matt is the CEO, but what exactly has the guy done now and why should I be concerned about continuing to use WordPress?

Thank you
