Eth platform has very transparent dev team and you can always follow their progress. Vitalik is the frontrunner of eth while I don't know about EOS.
I also think about what you think. I also conduct transactions every day through the eth platform. I never want to use eos. Until now, I was never interested in using eos. Because Eth is a place for me to make transactions easily.
I am just wondering, why is it a lot of coins are being compared to eth? The last time I read was, they are comparing ripple over eth. And now, they are comparing eos. I am not really familiar with eos, so I never had a chance to transact with that. I only had transactions with eth and not with eos. I'll do some research about eos since it's quite interesting to invest.
