Zilliqa doesn't have to beat Ethereum. The blockchain platform ecosystem will be huge going forward so there's plenty of room for Eth, Neo, Zilliqa and more. It's like any other huge industry. When the likes of the Ford Motor Company came along you didn't see competitors go "oh well, that space is now fully occupied".

Pros

My opinion is the point will be speed (first mover into sharding) and use cases, mainly in business sector. So it will not be so much a platform for anything and everything like ETH, but use specific network. It can be just another coin, at worst, and widely adopted protocol with tons of people working independently on it, at best. We'll see, I think it will fall somewhere inbetween. Of course all of this is just my 2 cents and I could be very wrong.

Cons

Zil also has plans to implement privacy and cross chain support in the future. First mover advantage is huge, a lot of coins out there that are crap and only in top 100 due to first mover advantage. Bitcoin is the most obvious example of this, old outdated tech with first mover advantage
