The work has been made a lot easier and I guess it is what makes etherum go on a profitable edge from other coins. Etherum would always be used in the coming future as there are thousands of projects who need to generate their utility token for the running of their project in the future and etherum would really make it easy for them. There are also other networks like waves, eos, etc but generating tokens on their platforms is a lot hectic and also the use and circulation needs a lot knowledge about those.
