Can someone post straightforward pro's and con's of Ethereum against Bitcoin & NXT.

If you're using technical terminology, please try and explain in layman's terms.

I would really appreciate that, thanks!

Bitcoin... Really just a currency/commodity and proof of concept of distributed ledger. Lots of electricity to maintain security.

NXT... 100% distributed already to early adopters... 100% Proof-of-stake... Promises additional features in protocol

Ethereum... a full development platform that doesn't exist yet and has been delayed indefinitely

If you're interested in Ethereum, you may be curious about Mastercoin, which is a development layer built atop Bitcoin.
