You've got good points, but Ethereum is older than Dogecoin in technicalities only (if that). I think Vitalik Buterin has been working on the concept since November or so of last year, but Dogecoin was out and live in December. Ethereum only had a proof of concept in the early part of this year and won't have a final release until next year. If Ethereum can release and be everything they say it is, there's plenty of time for a community to build up around it. It is difficult for a community to coalesce around something which isn't running.

I do recognize the technicalities of Ethereum vs. Dogecoin trajectories. It just seems that like Dogecoin, most succesful things get into the wild fast and there is an MVP for people to interact with. The two year wait for Ethereum isn't ideal and with the sure rise of Sidechains (because powerful people are behind it), the deck is increasingly stacking against them. It just seems like were talking Opera vs. Chrome, which if you remember Opera gave up and implemented webkit.
