I like IPFS, I really do, but whenever I try to use it, it's either too slow to become usable or sometimes it plain doesn't work. I pinned a whole bunch of files on IPFS a while back to experiment with it and the system seems to work, but every time I try to fetch those resources from a location that hasn't cached the content yet, it takes several seconds to show me the HTML/JSON/PNG files.
HTTP may be inefficient for document storage, but IPFS is inefficient for almost everything else.
I like the concepts behind IPFS but it's simply not practical to use the system in its current form. I hope my issues will get resolved at some point but I can't shake the thought that it'll die a silent death like so many attempts to replace the internet before it.
