This seems to be a really common sentiment, and I find it very strange. Why do people think that the level of enthusiasm and hype for a technology is predictive of its likelihood to fizzle? Both real, world-changing tech and overhyped tech will create enthusiasm. You have to look deeper than the tone of voice people are using to talk about a technology to understand its potential.

The pattern: new thing -> decide if good or bad -> hype or attack.
Waiting to see how it evolves and gathering pros or cons is boring. Using it? Boring. Thinking? Better see if there's some expert you trust that has some opinion already. Readiness is all.
