Monero testnet can be used experiments. Why so many Monero users spend time on Aeon now?

Its a chance to own a bit of crypto history and be part of the AEON early adopters. We think AEON has a very bright future!

This is also my opinion. There is room for more than one successful CryptoNote coin.

Definitely! Despite it being proclaimed 'dead', Litecoin keeps chugging along. Despite it being razzed as a 'joke', Dogecoin's ecosystem is the biggest in in altcoin land in terms of participation. And these two examples are only off the top of my head.

As the Dogecoin example indicates, all you really need is a special kind of branding: a sort of 'club' that certain folks are happy to be members of.

You are right. There are a lot of things to be learned about branding and community from Dogecoin.

It is interesting to look at historical snapshots of market position and see what has passed the test of time, DOGE being one of them:
