At first I felt the same exact way as the author of this thread. But some good points have been showed to me. I think Stephenie wanted this to happen. She never intended to publish Midnight Sun, this was her cop out.

Think about it.

Before Breaking Dawn when asked about Midnight sun, there are many interviews where she says Midnight Sun wouldn't be written for a long time, because after Breaking Dawn was released she planned to write other things. It was on the back burner.
She also mentioned that even if she DID finish Midnight Sun, she might end up just posting the whole book on her website (hm,...just like what shes done)

Of course though, after Breaking Dawn was released her fans went crazy (me included of course) and wanted her to immediately finish Midnight Sun for us. The pressure was on and i just think she didn't even want to really write Midnight Sun. So now that its been leaked, it gives her the perfect opportunity to put it on "hold indefinitely"
How it got leaked is very sketchy. She gave it to only close friends (who probably had drafts of Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn...which means why would they want to leak Midnight Sun now when they've had plenty of time to do that before?) On her website at the end of the questions that were asked the most about Breaking Dawn, is asking what she will do next. NO mention of Midnight sun. In fact she says she wants to get away from the Twilight world.

Either way, i am a little upset. Because A. she is either lying to us about what really happened and this is just her way of not having to finish Midnight sun.
or
B. The way she actually handled the situation was bad. Like the author said, everyone would still buy Midnight Sun. Music Artist's unreleased songs get put on the internet all the time, but you don't see them throwing away their whole album and saying "fuck it then we don't put it out!"

I think it comes down to , she doesn't have the drive to write the book right now. Well fine, but don't lie to the world. I think her fans would be a lot more understanding if she were just honest and said "hey look, i've just spent years of my life writing these books, I'm done for now!"
