Couldn't they come just a LITTLE further northeast? I wouldn't want to have to move to York...

I think you're all missing the upsides. No more PennDOT, for one. I'd be surprised if DE's tax structure was more regressive or unfair than ours, simply because that's such a high bar in the first place.

Their minimum wage is amost 50% higher than ours, an on track to be $15 by 2025 (not that this is in any way sufficient or remotely close to what it should be, but it's a hell of a lot closer than $7.25 and no plans to ever touch it again). This, naturally, raises all other wages in Delaware as well.

Local pride is one thing, but if I had the chance to live under a saner, fair-er, less-Republican state government, earn more and be taxed less (and have those taxes I do pay be used for something besides corruption once in a blue moon), I'd take it in a heartbeat.
