I think the most basic explanation of the difference is that in side-chains you put your trust in miners - if at any point there is a miner with enough hashing power to 51% attack the side-chain they can destroy it instantly, and often steal all the funds associated with it too. Now if a majority of all miners agree to mine your side-chain that may be ok and you won't be attacked, but getting to that point essentially requires asking permission from those miners if you want your side-chain to exist at all.

With tree-chains we create a global, yet scalable, blockchain publishing service that everyone contributes to and everyone uses. Everyone works together to keep that layer secure, and anyone can write code to make use of it. The disadvantage is that you can't rely on miners to verify for you - you have to verify blocks client-side - but that also means those same miners can't attack you without attacking all blockchains at once.

It's kinda like the difference between the telephone system and the internet: the telephone system relied on the underlying layer being "smart" and doing a lot of the logic for you. Adding new features to telephones meant changing that system and getting support from the phone companies. Tree-chains is the internet model: the underlying layer is very dumb and does very little, requiring fairly smart client software, however that means that to make new applications on top of that underlying layer doesn't require asking permission from anyone.

I feel like some ninja is gonna show up with an announcement soon

........... They are set in their belief that a highly functional peer to peer exchange (XCH) with 24 second confirmation times (due to VIA) is not an accomplishment compared to the existing technologies which are 25 x slower.  Time will tell in the form of user adoption, and I firmly believe as word gets out about VIA / XCH it will become an obvious choice for many as speed is undeniably important.

under chapter 3: Next-Generation altcoins….. why is VIAcoin not listed?  Marketing needs to be improved

Im new to viacoin, can you please elaborate with facts and figures?

There seem to be quite a few people out there who don't yet realise that VIA is so much more than a coin. I'm waiting for treechains to emerge and show what can be done.
