@Hopiumhater @aspingos22 @XRPLF @Ripple @Coil @GateHub I think the XRPL is not unattractive to devs: the technology, connectivity, speed, tools are all very attractive. The reason the XRPL isn't the go-to tech for the development you're aiming at has multiple causes, like:
(1/...)

@Hopiumhater @aspingos22 @XRPLF @Ripple @Coil @GateHub (2/...)
- The account reserve, limiting the amount of users one can reach (as they should be willing to pay the reserve to use the XRPL) (Disclaimer: I believe the reserve is a good thing, but let's face it: it limits the user base)

@Hopiumhater @aspingos22 @XRPLF @Ripple @Coil @GateHub (3/...)
For some devs:
- Misplaced "it can't be mined so it's bad" sentiment
- The lack of layer one smart contracts (Disclaimer: they are not smart and not really contracts, imo, but that's just terminology)

@Hopiumhater @aspingos22 @XRPLF @Ripple @Coil @GateHub All of these things are being addressed / worked on as we speak, so I believe the future of the XRPL is bright.

@Hopiumhater @aspingos22 @XRPLF @Ripple @Coil @GateHub One thing to add: it may also be the fact that devs may have been looking at Ripple to "do something". Hopefully the newly founded foundation, when really hitting the ground, may have a positive influence there. I sure hope it will.
