I'm generally p excited about Beam Chain. The only critique I've read that resonated is that ETH is becoming more like BTC circa-2018 in terms of protocol upgrades. Slow, methodical, like steering an ice breaker.

I think this benefits BTC immensely due to value prop in the market. Less convinced that it's aligned with what the market wants from ETH.

Everyone dunking on @drakefjustin’s timeline targeting 5 years out to ship consensus upgrades to Ethereum has misunderstood something fundamental about Ethereum’s philosophy

It moves slowly and carefully BY DESIGN

A good retort to this concern is ETH has always been deliberate and methodical. The ETH2.0 was announced in 2017, executed in 2022. 

Another 5 year timeline shouldn't surprise anyone.

That said, everyone who is saying "ETH should be like X competitor" has it wrong as well.

Best way to lose is to start running a competitor's playbook.

I recently did some research on Beam - what about it do you like?
