Didn't the Minicon split engender MarsCon, too? At least indirectly. So long ago, and so very painful at the time, but I think that the fannish community is probably better for it.
(I'm also the sort of person who thinks that there aren't too many cons in the world, and that it's perfectly sensible to start the convention you want to attend, if you & some friends are so inclined.)
Me, I skipped Minicon because the Fallcon was plenty for me (and had <100 people). Instead, I hung out with some friends' cats while the friends went to Minicon. Their cats are nice, and we like each other (they sit on me, and I pet them regularly). So it worked out.
