Having used my Vive every day since I got it in April, I can say it is not a gimmick in any way. It's amazing. The real hurdle is getting it strapped to enough faces for that to reach a wide audience. Prices will drop, HMDs will become lighter. I just hope that happens soon enough for mass adoption.
I understand the skepticism, I just think most of it comes from inexperience with VR.
I've had a Vive for a month. I use it almost everyday and I love it. But, if you want the best it has to offer, space for room-scale is a must! I use Tiltbrush alot. I've been playing DOOM and experimenting with other non-native VR games using VorpX (DIG it). Have a few games I've purchased to still try. But, not a ton of deep experiences... yet. Several titles hitting soon I'm very interested in though.
I've had zero experience with a Rift, but I recommend the VIve if you can/want to early adopt and help push the platform.
