BitShares is a great platform. Some of the centralized exchanges may have pretty wallets, but the fundamental point is that you're trusting someone else to keep their promise. Bitshares is 200% collateralized meaning you're money is there and its decentralized.
Moonstone, Echo and others are building fancy wallets i believe and BlockPay are getting this in to shops with their POS system. PeerTracks music and PeerPlay gaming ... the future is bright for this platform if you ask me.
Lets hope so.
