I agree with this fully. But as said elsewhere, it's kind of far away from that, and also slightly misdirected.
Imagine asking someone to get started with web development by sending them to https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc793.txt (the TCP specification). Filecoin is just the protocol, and won't ever solve that particular problem, as it's not focused on solving that particular problem, it's up to client implementations to solve.
But the ecosystem is for sure missing an easy to use / end-user application like Dropbox for storing files in a decentralized and secure way.
Distributed file storage, if done correctly, can be a transformative technology. And it can be even more revolutionary implemented at the OS level.
That fucker's a PIG on cpu and ram.
Clearly much more going on but take a machine that can serve 10k req/s with [insert 100 things here] without flinching and watch it maybe, just maybe, do 10 with IPFS.
I'm not kidding.
