Monero is basically the taco shop version of BCN, IMO. The logo and name give the impression of a dollar store and the developers don't seem as passionate as the original creators of the tech (and rightfully so). The Monero devs are very quick to protect what is in their best financial interests, and that is obvious from their snarky comments scattered on reddit and this forum.
If you are using an anonymous coin for its actual anonymous properties (and not just following hype or trying to make money) there is not a huge incentive for you to care
that a lot of the coin has been mined already. After all, bitcoin is over 60% mined! If anything I would much rather support a coin like duckNote over Monero, because the name is hilarious rather than boring. Marketability is not all about the specific name, but has to do with the atmosphere surrounding the coin and the coin's feel/emotional response. Monero is no bueno.

This is a sophisticated analysis. Nice.
Monero doesn't even have a GUI wallet after 100 years...
Because all the Group's efforts are devoted to Cult Building and enforcing Cultic Purity.
And that means the Top Guys and Surrogates spend 100s of hours cruising coin forums...
DRAMA QUEENS spreading silly propaganda... and attacking ALL other anon coins...
In between 3 hour lunches and 6 week vacations on the French Riviera.
I've even received long messages from Monero Cult Enforcers... I must to be destroyed along with everything BCN.
Meanwhile, countless transfers have been lost due to the primitive 80s command line interface...
But, apparently, sometime in the future it will be possible to troubleshoot lost coins...
Maybe, but that's not important right now.
It will be poetic justice when CryptoNote proves to have a Fatal Flaw...
And something "good enough" like VTC Stealth Addresses become the anon standard.
Crypto is not meant for the gmaxwells of this world... Crypto is for ordinary people.
