The amount of tokens that can be minted is unlimited. To keep inflation in check there is a burn mechanism in place. A certain percentage of transaction fees are burned. Also during high-traffic times fees are increased to keep the network from getting too congested.

 It has several projects up and running already. By being the first blockchain to offer scalability, they had the luxury of having time to attract several projects. By being the largest blockchain you can build on, they have thousands of nodes running, which helps with security and speed. With  Ethereum 2.0, it allows certain updates to be completed allowing the chain to handle around 100,000  transactions per second. This will be a large jump from its current 30 transactions per second. The code is open-sourced, so this is great for developers since it helps simplify the building process. 

 Ethereum is known to have high transaction fees. It is not unusual to have $80 in fees for one transaction. As stated above, this is due to high traffic. With issues of scalability still present it will be some time for consistent cheap transactions. The programming language used for its smart contracts is  Solidity, which does have known issues that could be exploited if not careful.
