ED is ok for 2 days, SOMA must have a partnership with an exchange for after there ICO.
A fast listed project right after ICO will give you investors who were just to late, if it takes to long those investors will be to another project or forgot about it. Exchanges are very important and I dont think ED is that one.
The problem with Etherdela is, that most people just don't like to trade on it so a different exchange would be nice. But I also think, it doesn't need to be Bittrex or Polo to become successful.
Etherdelta will remain the favorite place for some people because most token will be available to trade at that place. No need to wait for a longer time for a new token to be listed on etherdelta. Btw, 14k eth has been collected during this crowdsale. Still plenty of time to participate. Don't miss it!
I am growing to like Etherdelta too but i have to admit that i understand why some people rather not use it. It's hard to compare to traditional exchanges. But just not being able to cancel orders manually is kinda annoying.
The cancel order thing is because the sell is a smart contract. You cant cancel the smart contract (as i understand it). However annoying this is, its a good thing for ETH based tokens that the smart contracts cant be cancelled. Imagine bigger use cases for smart contract like selling a house, you dont want to be able to cancel that contract for no reason right?
The house contract is a very good example but what about an escrow like contract ? three persons
