In terms of aesthetics, Ecency and Peakd are well ahead of the rest of the pack. That's for sure. Keychain is attractive and easy to use. I think Hive suffers from two things:
- Lack of a real marketing arm that can get the word out about the blockchain and its associated benefits;
- And, among those already familiar with it, a bad reputation for benefiting whales more than everyone else.
We can chirp all we want about how No. 2 isn't true, but that's a perception that isn't likely to go away. Plus, there are some folks who just don't like Hive for whatever reason.
