It's #4 / #5 by market cap, how is it shitcoin? Please elaborate.

It's about to take over ethereum's market share once smart contracts are released later this or next month.

It's built from scratch with some strong academics in the CS field working on R&D.

Could you give a reason for why you think, especially in a technology context, it is a shitcoin?

I'm new to this space, but reading about it it seems quite impressive to me. So enlighten me.
