One the most important feature at that table is absent - the founders. Ethereum succeed mostly because of Buterin. There are a lot of smart contract platforms, but nevertheless ETH remains and will be the number one for very long time imo.
The articles has nothing such proof to offer. And with Viltalik Buterin almost at the top of Ethereum scene, I'm not surprised that this coin is really popular not just because of him, but the development and the features that this coin has to offer specially its smart contracts. As for CMT, I agree, its too early to tell, Ethereum has so much head start already, its really hard to overtake it as of the moment.
Cybermiles is a good project and has great potential but comparing it to eth as of this moment, i guess its a bit odd and they both are on different planes. Cybermiles have amazing aspects and maybe in the near future it can overcome eth, we will never know since everything in the crypto community is uncertain. Although, eth have already established itself and gained a lot of investors and adopted by many icos hence, comparing the two isn't right as of this moment.
As I have said, CMT has a lot to do if they want to take Ethereum at least. Another advantage of Ethereum is that they have already established as alternatives to bitcoin in forms of ICO investment. And most ERC20 tokens are based on Ethereum so that alone is the biggest hurdle that CMT has to overtake if they want to challenged Ethereum.
