The list of dapps is remarkable... That was my first glimpse into the hackability of Etherium and I am very intrigued now. As a total outsider to all this, I suspect you are right. Bitcoin is very hacky, as almost all successful first systems are. Etherium is a second system. First systems: By force of will you cobble together a viable prototype and if you are lucky it gets traction. Then it's an exercise in patching to keep the system running. Second systems: longer dev cycles based on lofty goals for better architecture and features. Many second systems fail here. But if/when the second system gains traction, it's potentially a much better solution since it could learn from mistakes of the first system. It's clear that the tools are better in Etherium for building block chain apps. It also looks like it's getting good adoption. Like all things crypto currency it's interesting that there is money on the line. Bitcoin won't fall out of fashion as quickly as other systems for that reason.
