We're not done yet. IMO it's still not easy enough to build great software on top of our work.
Rant Incoming:
I don't think building a turing-complete VM into stellar anytime soon is prudent. The work the ethereum folks have done is crazy impressive, and certainly it is beyond anything I myself could create, but IMO they are also too cavalier. I don't think we (programmers in general) have the collective smarts, wisdom, discipline, and ethical codes needed to build a safe "world computer" yet, and I don't think we've got a good grasp of the potential ramifications of an unsafe solution. I imagine there are many unknown unknowns to encounter as the world stumbles in the dark, greedily, from where we are today in the direction of skynet.
All that said, I'd really like to see a world with more decentralizing forces and where decentralized applications can more feasibly compete with centralized services. I think stellar can help make this happen one day. I'm sick of being forced to trust the googles and facebooks of the world with my personal data while not having viable alternatives, and I think one way to work towards breaking their outsized influence on humanity's digital culture is to enable and make accessible more decentralized interactions of increasing richness. Instead of building one turing-complete decentralized protocol to rule them all, I'd love to see us continue to develop a constellation of focused decentralized systems that we can consider/develop/verify/maintain in isolation first. Then, as our comfort with each system grows, we can work to carefully combine and layer them in increasingly useful ways. There's such a long way to go.
On a related note, IMO we too often think that what we're doing on a day to day basis is just computer science and don't often enough consider the social science-y aspects of our work. From how we structure our APIs to how we communicate with users about the responsibilities involved with participating in decentralized systems, we have tons of soft problems to overcome that can't easily be fed into a compiler or reasoned about formally to determine the quality of our solutions. For evidence, look at what occurred recently with the parity wallet/solidity or -- an example that hits closer to home for me -- the snafus around the account recovery system in stellar's original web client.

Please take the above with a grain of salt. I realize that the above isn't supported with citations and in the end I'm just some random fuckhead coder. I'm sure plenty of people here can point to why my thoughts on the subject are wrong and why ethereum is taking the correct approach to smart contracts; I don't pretend to be able to hang with the big brains of the cryptocurrency space.
All of the above is also not representative of stellar's official positions... these opinions are 100% my own.
I am looking to do something, not 100% what on Stellar Network, mostly due to the fact that I am familiar with it and I like api among other things.
I'm deeply skeptical of most altcoins, but Stellar is going places.
No.
