Actually, this thread on the Zcash forum is interesting.
Some users are blaming the corporate component of the Zcash project, and that their companies and foundations around the project misallocated money, gave grants to the wrong teams/people and they left without completing the work, etc.
Does this remind you of anything? To me yes - a typical corporate "IT project", with typical corporate problems, where there is a lot of money and where its management does not need to be efficient.
Why?
Zcash clearly has more money than Monero = investors + dev tax.
But, if you have so much "free" money, why be efficient in managing it?
It seems to me rather even on a semi-subconscious level + I also don't rule out bad management + corruption of those who had access to distributing the money.
There has always been and will always be a **huge** difference between Zcash and Monero developers/contributors. And it's *not* about money.
Every job should be paid.
But still, developers and contributors come to the Monero community primarily because they want to make XMR better (for themselves?), not because Monero is giving away money.
Monero CCS is an easier to manage/report model than anything fancy and corporate.
In my memory there has only been 1 big Monero CCS failure from someone who tells a lot of tales, namely the dude /u/Anonimal and his "project" - Kovri.
But from what I imagine, and a couple of posts I read on the Zcash forum, the money that went up in the air funding Kovri is just a drop in the ocean compared to the amount of money that was allocated for grants for ZEC.

Next, the screenshot from the same forum thread.
1) There seems to be a lot of people in the Zcash community who don't know about FCMP++ integration in Monero.
Why did I say “a lot”? Because no one in this thread has even mentioned it.
2) There is no point.
