I'm thinking EOS is going to have a great year. It was certainly gaining some attention in early January when the market was growing. There has also been hints dropped that Bitshares may be integrated on top of or next to EOS which would be very nice.

I believe EOS will have its piece of the pie even though its not fully decentralized.

These platforms are in somewhat of a rat race... and like you said.. a kitten game bringing Ethereum to a snail's pace Vs. EOS which can process 1m tx/s. Ethereum also seems to be pretty far out from any scaling being implemented.
