I better not see anyone blame forecasters. Period.
All we have are the tools available and thats all they can go by. There is still a spread with models and 25 miles East or West with the center will make a big difference in outcome.
Looks like stronger then weaker. in the next day or so.

HURRICANE MATTHEW DISCUSSION NUMBER 31
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL142016
500 PM EDT WED OCT 05 2016
Data from an Air Force Hurricane Hunter plane a couple of hours ago indicated that the structure of Matthew had not changed very much, and the initial intensity remains at 105 kt. Another Hurricane Hunter plane will be in the eye soon. The environment continues to be favorable for Matthew to restrengthen while it approaches the the east coast of Florida during the next day or so. After that time, the shear is forecast to increase significantly, resulting in gradual weakening of the hurricane.
My two cents...The east coast of Florida is still very likely to see 50 MPH winds and a 50% chance of 75 MPH winds.
Be safe.
