Yes, the ETH's gas fee remains very high especially when the price increasing but I don't think it was a big issue for ETH. Remember ETH still in development and have very strong community back up it, included a lot of developers. One way or another, there will have some implement to remove that problem.
fees are always a big issue to the person that is active on using that particular coin . they can get discourage with it if problem persist , i know there is a development called eth 2.0 but it was on delayed again . all we can ask is the patience of the eth user . this problem on the fee may fixed soon .
Not many people realize this about $ETH , too many keep staring at the 'old school' projects they once bought in a hype moment and still hoping on a big return 2016 -2017.Because now day the ETH will be very incredible in the market price, But the ETH gaus fee very high,
gas fee isnt a hindrance to continue what you started . if they solve the same problem on btc , maybe they can do the same with eth ? who knows
