I generally agree with those sentiments, and I've been working lately on some developer education on gotchas and best practices for devs using solidity, in particular. There is a huge need for a focused consumer and developer-oriented rework on the marketing and ui side for ethereum. It's very, very confusing, even for highly technical people. That said, things are much easier to work with than a year ago. Communication people would still help a lot. On the plus side, the community is really great. People are nice, and motivated. There is a huge amount of pending work to get Ethereum ready for real prime time, and people do seem to be kicking in.
