I think with the way the network is currently, we've got plenty of functionality to build on. Sure it has node issues from time to time and not all front ends are as snappy as most people would like, but you know what? the blockchain is solid, fast and free, and that's what projects need.
That's why when asked the question Is the future of Hive community-based or business backend? I believe business backend will have the biggest impact on the growth of this ecosystem.
