Except he seems to give BTC a pass. I'm not familiar with this guy and just skimmed his tweetstorm, but he seems to be part of a group that thinks BTC >>>> ETH.
ETH is theoretically better than BTC, while BTC is practically better than ETH.
Depending on whether you want something cool to experiment with, or something to actually use, one is far better than the other.
I got more practical use out of ETH than I did out of BTC. In my case, the use was small-ish donations. ETH was cheaper and way faster.
Those are apple and orange. You don't necessarily say HTTP is better than TCP or JavaScript is better than HTML.

For some definition of "actually use". How would you define that?
I think the disagreement is on other cryptocurrencies. The author of the original Twitter thread has positive views of Bitcoin, e.g. this post which he linked in the thread:

He's responding to people saying "hey, why are you criticising ETH, don't you like this stuff?" And he's saying that even the "blue chip" cryptocurrency projects are still very experimental phases and he takes them seriously enough to criticize them.
