So, basically, we're still in the ENIAC stage of quantum computers. They're cool and all, can do some awesome stuff, but are no where near the potential they could be.
I think that's a fair comparison exactly! We're using physical Josephson junctions, almost to quantum computers as vacuum tubes to a classical computer, and we've not made a transistor yet. Some companies claim they have, like D-Wave, but have failed to prove anything quantum mechanical about those "solid-state" qubits.
