Komodo platform has been steady for the past four months. It is a good indication it will be a platform for a long haul. A good alternative to ethereum.
I doubt its alternative to ethereum. Ethereum has larger purpose.
ETH is a generalized computing, so it can run any (theoretically) smart contract. To date, it seems only the ICO is the real world use case for ETH that is being actively used. KMD makes dICO.
If you are familiar with the concept of dedicated firmware devices, maybe you can understand the purpose of KMD. Given any generally computable application, it is possible to put it into firmware device, the only issue could be lack of CPU power in the firmware device.
Here, it is upside down. A dedicated blockchain for a specific dApp will have orders of magnitude more processing power available, think ASIC mining vs CPU mining.
So, we will watch what useful dapps ETH ecosystem creates and then make a dedicated solution that does only that, no need to sync to a 1 Terabyte blockchain, no need to link all dapps every created to a single centralized blockchain.
decentralize everything
