For partnerships where the contribution is at all close (i.e. +/- 10%), I think a 50/50 split has the huge upside of getting both partners completely focused on making the pie bigger. I'd much rather avoid quibbling over a few % of share and get entirely focused on building a better business and also feeling the personal pressure to be contributing my best. If the contribution was wildly different, I think that's certainly a different case.
