I think this will improve once the SMT protocol is launched and deployed by the DApps already growing their communities using the Steem protocol. This will attract other projects that will assist and grow the ecosystem with more diversity which will then attract more development as well. Its always about the chicken or the egg but given the first move advantage of Ethereum and even EOS, they have the advantage to attract development. Also consider that they have the venture captial funds to attract as well while we are barely above $100 million in market cap.
