It's still too early for any conclusion, but it's already a start.

It isn't about the caustic quality. Cycles in it core have a way to treat light and shader
That i can simply no drink. Not everyone will be senssible to that kind of thing I know.
But i speak for my experience. Even 3 colleagues recently switch to Luxcore and they
can't go back to cycles even in it (X/K/E) version.

The quality of luxcore is unparalleled, even for creating nodes it is much better than cycles, but it bothers me a little the direction Luxcore will take. It's been 15 days since the last build, cycles 3 has been released and we don't have any news. I'm afraid any of these times luxcore will be discontinued.

It will always loose in quality to LuxCore, no doubt, MNEE is not a proper technique for general caustics, LuxCore is waaaaaaaaaay ahead of it, it's an improvement for cycles, no doubt, but it's no where near Lux right now :)

Regarding general quality, I agree,m LuxCore is ahead of cycles in quality, specially in quality vs human time, the biggest problem for us, and the reason we are right now using more Cycles than LuxCore, is speed, work speed is way faster in Cycles than Lux, no matter what, because of snappier viewport render, bigger libraries already prepared, etc... and clients don't care about the differences between Lux and Cycles, they care about time, it's sad, but it's true, at least in our case I'm afraid, I LOVE Lux, but we can't use it as often as we wanted to.

Buy a B-Renderon, it costs $6. And forget about the rendering time. With this program, rendering time becomes irrelevant.

He is talking about viewport not final render as you mention yourself here :

Where people have the resources to do animations of this.
In the last month alone, five people doing the highest level graphics have consulted with me and tried Luxcore.
Everyone had the answer I hear from everyone, "cool, promising, but how to work?"

And there have been so many of them this year that I won't even count.

I would love to know if the plan to eliminate opencl will be implemented, most issues would be resolved.

I have drastically reduced my connections with the world around me. No one else contacts me.

It is difficult to move objects, cameras, lighting in the pre-rendering mode. Work turns into a struggle.

Here is an example with the most primitive scene.
