I think the EOS cryptcurrency has several significant differences, which are indisputable advantages. The main differences between EOS and Ethereum are the DPoS method, the possibility of "repairing" poorly functioning applications, and the availability of a constitutional framework that will help resolve legal issues between participants. This is what I particularly like about the EOS.
I have heard that Larimer has uncompleted projects already. For example BTS or Steem. I hope that EOS will be first completely executed as an intended project. And it will be actually competitor for Eth
I have also heard of the creator was in some bad deals and has ties with some illegal projects in the past.
