I sure hope so, regarding Tor and Mozilla. Aside my scripts that make .onion resolution on a Linux machine work, it would be nicer to have a simple and clean interface here.
I certainly understand the hesitancy with IPFS. It is still too new. And they're still ironing out features and implementations. However, what gets me is that it's live right now, and I'm using it for quite a few things.
Right now, I'm getting some VM stuff up and running. My idea is that jor1k linux in JS can be run on IPFS.. Still playing around with it, but it seems very stable and fast.
Also, regarding your 3rd point: I've attributed many network effects to the 85/15 principle. The 15% is your tech userbase. They're the ones that drag everyone else into a platform or technology. The rest (85%) follow because the early adopters knew that it was where to go. Gmail was like this, as was Facebook, as was Firefox, as was Napster, etc. Adding in something like IPFS as a base support adds in "Cloud Storage" where nothing really existed like this before, well, aside 'cloud' meaning other peoples' servers.
Maybe I'm completely wrong. Time will certainly tell, but one thing I know, is that I am indeed impressed with what I'm seeing already.
