Your opinion on Esperanto is based on impressions, not on facts.

It's surprising indeed that it is still growing as fast as any other "natural" language.
It started with about 900 words and has now over 15000 with the capacity to build 10 times more colourful ones.

About the interconnection of languages, have a look at http://remush.be/etimo/etimo.html

There is a lot to say about the rapid grow of the language and the rules that must be obeyed to create new terms for new needs. Don't forget that we are a multinational community that cares about the cohesion of the language.

Nobody forces you to learn Esperanto if you don't like it.
It will remain quite viable without you. No worry.
