As an Ethereum user, I find Ethereum useful. Maybe my experience is not unlike that of the initial ARPAnet users?
While between jobs, I have paid my rent with a blockchain-based loan. I found Ethereum to be a much better creditor than a bank.
I've quickly and inexpensively sent money to friends in other countries.
