It really depends on for what purpose do you need your tokens. Because with ethereum you have many people that have built the infrastructure with many smart contracts and dapps and it might be better in a sense that you can find a lot more information, ask many more people for help etc.Although ETH has it's own decentralized exchanges which other people have built such as EtherDelta.

On waves it is much easier to deploy your tokens as you can do it with simple GUI and thus it makes it faster to deploy tokens. On the other side Waves might be cheaper. Waves might be better in a sense of volume, because there is only one DEX where most of the people trade, where as within ethereum you have different exchanges with different volumes.

I completely agree, it's funny how people get so tied up on the price of something thinking that only the price and market movements of a coin justify its usefulness. Have you ever tried to develop or use a dApp? If not I would research how too first before I would put any money into it so you could see the use case yourself. ... If you yourself can't justify using it, what makes you think it would have any value to anyone else you personally know?
Edit: I think this is more suitable for altcoin discussion sections

Thanks for the reply. The Mods can move this thread if I opened it in the wrong place but thank you for highlighting it.

I never used dApp and never heard of it and I have no plans to have my own ICO or tokens.

I just wanted to ask for opinons on what it was that made most people choose ETH over WAV for tokens and ICOs

Status is a big factor. With hundreds of ICOs using ethereum as their platform, it's been a default choice for other companies to use ethereum as well. And since it's more popular, there are more experts/developers that companies could hire for their project.

I think people also lost trust in waves when they found out 10 people actually owned 45-50% of the coins, there's also a single account that has 12% of the coins. Unlike in ethereum, the largest amount that a single address have is about 1.5% of the total coins.

Technologically though, they each have their fair amount of pros and cons.
