in side related news Ethereums pretty much near its full launch
That isn't entirely true. Ethereum just launched their blockchain (thawing period currently) for mining and have basically launched their platform for developers. User functionality is a staggered release that will be ongoing for quite awhile.
The way I understand it is that Maid will launch Safecoin with farming enabled and some user functionality with some third party apps ready to go from the start. The Maid project will also be a continuously developed 'launch' but I think they are closer to having end user interaction.
That said, both projects are different and the poster who said that Maidsafe really has nothing to contribute to the Ethereum news other than, "Congrats and well done," is pretty spot on in my opinion.
