Good article. I feel that as good as steemit is, it still has some very poor features that are standard on other platforms (searching for example)
Once Dan Larimer has launched EOS and has the time to focus on 'Steemit 2.0' (name not confirmed but he has strongly hinted it is in the works), that will run on top of EOS, we will really start to see things moving.
I feel that this Beta will never end and that we will need to wait for the next iteration of incentivized social platforms that EOS will enable.
