There was nothing confrontational at all. You asked about EOS dapps compared to Steem dapps and I made a comparison. I didn't say you were a maximalist either. There's no reason to be defensive. Forgive anything that appeared aggressive.
I don't use the gambling sites, so can't say which ones are best. Trybe will have a new UI out next month, which should be pretty nice. It's already fairly good, with a few challenges. But they're focused on the new one.
U.community is building one too. It's still alpha, but the yellow paper looks promising.
WORBLI is a side chain that is making some amazing strides and gathering momentum. It is unapologetically centralized, but with good reason since it's designed to manage your own personal information. Definitely worth checking out. They should be rolling out some features over the next couple of months too.
Honestly, it's really hard to keep up. New projects and sidechains abound. And that's just EOS. Some of the others might be just as exciting. Check Tron out if you haven't yet. You can only take in so much though.
