Waves is easier to use with built in marketplace. But I haven't seen any popular projects on the platform. Moneypot was going to issue their token on the platform but withheld the decision on last moment. Don't know what the reason was but waves is just crowded with worthless tokens.
waves are actually platforms that are better and better than eth but they just lose in terms of "first created"
if waves are created first, surely now many projects will use waves.
