Waves Platform

Why don't more ICOs choose to go with the waves platform instead of Ethereum? Ethereum is pretty crowded and it takes a long time to load those balances..
Waves seems a perfectly fine operational platform?

They wait for october update. Smart Contracts coming on waves platfor on october.
also after october update blockchain ng is going to be live on waves. That means now bitcoin network can process around 3-4 transactions/second but waves can handle thousands per second.
thats why waves price is rising

The Waves platform is described as a Open Blockchain platform, one that takes the functionalities of Bitcoin and extends them further beyond the simple application of value transfer. The idea is not to create a replacement for Bitcoin, but rather a platform where Bitcoin, cryptos, fiat currencies, and all types of real-world commodities and assets can be issued, transferred and exchanged in a fully decentralized manner. The Waves platform also provides a crowdfunding solution through its lite client wallet.

I think it comes down to familiarity and trust. A lot of people would feel more comfortable seeing coins based on ethereum. In a sense, waves is a simpler version of ethereum. It would take more time for waves to be a competitor to ethereum when it comes to ICOs.
