I agree. I'm also impressed that they added a lot of features in a short time with a small team. And Syscoin was the second coin to implement SegWit. I tried the previous version; it was already fun to use (for a nerd, not a grandma).
The only competition I see is OpenBazaar, which doesn't have its own currency but uses Bitcoin for payments. A risk for both Syscoin and OpenBazaar is that users will have to get used to trusting an independent escrow arbiter - and the arbiters will have to get paid, too.
