can someone give some short summary of what is going on right now with EXE, what is its status and situation right now?

EXE: just over a month old; similar to VTC but with some significant tweaks (faster block time, more aggressive N-factor); active dev and growing community; Android wallets; solid website and marketing efforts; currently "recovering" after recently being listed on a whole bunch of new exchanges, so the price is a little depressed; realistically positioned as the #2 scrypt-N coin after VTC, which is a pretty good place to be once scrypt ASICs dominate; with luck and some hard work, maybe a chance to be better than #2, which makes it a worthwhile gamble given the current difficulty.
There's also a different vibe around EXE, I find. It's been building slowly, the community has been growing nicely and is helpful and active, and so far there hasn't been any pump and dump hysteria and FUD. Pretty calm and rational. Sort of the Toyota Camry of coins, and I mean that as a compliment.
Similar to VTC but it's not a straight clone, new code has been written for EXE including the N-factor schedule, java library and SPV (simple payment verification) client.
The N-factor schedule is more aggressive than VTC, so EXE is possibly more ASIC resistant. The SPV client is amazing for new users, the client syncs with the network in 2-3 minutes (instead of the hours typically required for traditional clients to download the entire blockchain), it runs on any platform and includes a user friendly first-run wizard and paper wallet generator built in.
