Except that people who actually understand cryptocurrencies tend to think Eth is largely hooey and definitely dangerous and that it won't be around for long. At least not in its current form. By the way, the same people tend to think Monero is in the top 2. But you can change the definition of "top" or "quality" to include anything. But in reality I'm sure most people don't actually care. :)

Why is ETH hooey? I haven't heard that before.

That's nonsense, to the point of being blatant misinformation. Ethereum processes more transactions than all other cryptocurrencies combined. It has 30X more developers working on it than the next most active platform. The market cap of crypto-assets issued on top of it (ERC20 tokens) grew from $2.8 billion to $60 billion over the last 7 months, with Ethereum's market share for the crypo-asset market growing from 73% to 93% over that period.
