I would really like to see Vimeo become more popular. Their service is much cleaner and far less annoying. Although the recent discovery of Youtube Feather has me intrigued.

They don't permit all sorts of content that YouTube does, which is what holds Vimeo back from broad acceptance as a YouTube replacement.
...but their higher quality standards are also what has allowed them to carve out a niche which youtube can never replace.
Sure -- it's a double edged sword, but the point is that Vimeo does not represent a potential YouTube replacement.
The video uploader needs work. Even content optimised for the site uploads like a dog.
