I'm more with improving than with creating alternatives. Our problem has been this one from the beginning, too much creation of alternative solutions, too little developing them. Partiko, eSteem, SteemKR, Musing, Steemit, Busy, etc. We've even got a few dozen clones of the Steem blockchain trying to be what Steem isn't.

If people focused on collaborating for a common purpose rather than launching the improvements as alternatives, I bet we'd be in a much better place right now. In my opinion, our best shot is using Steempeak's code, improving it and proposing merges, using a centralised platform and decentralising the effort only and not the results.
