I've seen that these two smart contracts are often used, and the ETH is widely used more often than WAVES. What is the difference between the two platforms?
Waves is not a smart contract plattform - it is a plattform to issue tokens on a very, very simple way (tokens dont have any functionality).
Waves also has a so called DEX (decentralised exchange), where you can trade the tokens of the waves plattform.
means the ETH token is more complex than the token of the waves.
It is more interesting when an ICO is using a Ethereum contract, waves is a very good project, and their dex is very good too, but it is difficult to use it since it is a little big buggy. But i see that a lot of ICO's are using Waves technology to develop their coins, and a lot of them are having success. I think that more people needs to accostumbrate to use Waves, it is a very promising one, and a new way to develop coins.
Some people are more happy to use waves and some are using ETH, but I see many more ETH enthusiasts

The ethereum was having the more complex code rather than waves platform, as far as i know a lot of the exchange sites was easily to added the ethereum token rather than the waves assets and that makes the waves just look a crap for me.
Like MGO they have a problem on their wallet, which you say is very true
Waves is just the opposite to ETH probably. What ETH do is develop Bitcoin scripting, do everything using contracts, it’s very fundamental but makes certain things very complicated. Waves took another road, where things are simpler, very easy to add all functionality you need using plug-ins, don’t have to code complicated contracts. Also waves focus is on mass adoption, specifically target two markets : fiat transfers on blockchain and crowdfunding on blockchain. They are very ripe for disruption, and waves will be offering a product for a very general audience, basically the main end-user client is just a plugin you can install from Chrome.
But look at waves have no enthusiasts at all, most people prefer to use ETH.
