Indeed take always the best from other apps or competitors and leave out the shady and bad things and you have a success in your hands.

I think with some time and more polish steemit can get there. They have to stay focus improving and making the UI better but even more important listen to the audience.

The people here on steemit are not the same on Facebook. So I am 100% with you the interface needs work to be easy to use but they can’t forget their target audience and there unique needs.
