It's been a while since the last time I visited the State Of The Dapps. It's a great tool to track which app is doing well or not, their overall activity, and their current ranking etc...just in case you are not familiar with this site...
As a matter of fact the last time I've checked was about a month or so prior to HF 23.0.
Note that some of the Dapps have already migrated on Hive, while some others are about to the following days.
So it would be interesting to see how things look like now compared to a couple of months back for some of the "big names"...and, surprise surprise...
I guess you all remember Steemit.com being the No1 app most of the time. One could say that it was the battle ram of the entire Steem Network. But things DO change rapidly and Steemit, that once was ranked first among 3500+ Dapps is now sitting at the 11th spot.
Do you see that dive on Steemit's chart? That's the chain split.
Also...do you see that 
Never underestimate what a dedicated group of people / community is capable of, ever.
That being said, I read a great analysis by 
What I've found really interesting is the fact that while the overall activity both on Steem and Hive looks kinda balanced, there's one category where Steem outperforms Hive. That's custom JSON operations. The difference is huge there, 380K on Steem / 11K on Hive and there's a reason for that. Actually...3 reasons...
Spliterlands, Steem-Engine and Nextcolony
Splinterlands is definitely the most successful application out there, hands down. And it is still running on Steem. I don't know if they consider moving on Hive but it is definitely the main reason behind this huge gap.
I have made a breakdown on custom json operations and had a look who is making them and 90% of them were made by Splinterlands, Nextcolony and Steem-Engine. Splinterlands was dominating with around 60% of all the custom JSONs operations.
And this is the list of the most successful Hive apps.
As a side note...Hive is only 1 month old. So having 2 apps already (peakd - hive.blog) in the top ten, while 2 more about to break through, is already a huge success.
Thoughts?
