That is an open question. The HTS leader, Jolani, has disavowed the AQ, and has made statements at least that say they will treat all minority groups humanely and safely, and those groups in regions run by HTS do not seem persecuted.

That being said, Kurdish SDF forces sent large reinforcements to the Kurdish enclaves near Aleppo, there were at least some skirmishes between HTS and SDF forces. The SDF reportedly captured the Aleppo airport which was mostly just abandoned by regime forces. This was a bit raw for the HTS which did all the heavy lifting on this offensive to allow the SDF to hold such a strategically important location. It appears there is some joint occupation there now. 

So at least early in this, the various opposition factions seem to mostly be playing nice, if not exactly operating in any sort of joint command.

I think any option is better than Assad, especially for the Syrian people who have been subjected to a tyrant bombing and gassing them. If Assad falls, Turkey seems a winner. Iran and Russia losers. The Kurds? The Israelis? The US? More open questions depending on how things play out.
