I wonder to what extent is the price rise a bubble, and to what extent it's valuation of the potential.

So this thing is live yet? I thought they were having problems with the algorithms and so on.

Its technically in the "frontier" stage, which means that its in "beta" of sorts. There are lots of developers working on Ethereum dapps and it is more than useable, however consumers should be aware there may be loss-causing bugs around.

What are the costs like for building resource intensive apps on ethereum? Would be interested in comparing with centralized compute providers.

A lot more expensive. There will be no comparison in cost, or at least that is the wrong comparison to be making.

I get spammed daily on Reddit from bots supporting Ethereum (currency) - so the name causes hatred for me already.

Most of the application does not run on ethereum itself, but on the client. It's the business logic that does. User registration, transactions, etc. So it depends how resource intensive the business logic is.
