Are we seriously still peddling that line?  Seems a touch cliché now.  Unless the dev team have any major plans for new features, I can easily see more dynamic projects like Dash, Bitshares, Maidsafe and Monero surpassing Litecoin within the next year or two.  I'll admit I haven't been paying much attention to LTC (as it seems to be fading into obscurity), but does it have any interesting developments on the horizon?  Anything at all to make it stand out from the crowd?  It just feels stale to me, somehow, completely lacking in impetus or momentum.
