I highly doubt ETN's goal should be to replace Monero. Monero isn't really that geared toward the lay person, whereas ETN's whole strategy is mass adoption. I find it odd when people representing different currencies get into shouting matches. Just focus on your own target audiences, and provide the best service you can. With a little luck, success will follow.
ETN may very well complete with monero. If the drug cartel wants a second scrubbing coin. ETN fits the bill due to it being totally anonymous and the devs have no say in the matter.
