It certainly seems to have a very nice UI, but the most important

answer to that question anywhere on their site.
From what I have found on their site nodes publish their own "fingerprints"
(the specialisation of the node). The fingerprint is not scale free but divides
the key space in 16 parts. (http://entropy.stop1984.com/en/entropy.html,
section: Peer incoming connections listener)
Node announcements do not determine the specialisation. They are published under
well known and time depended KSKs (section: Peer outgoing connections launcher).
There was not any information on how routing exactly works. However because a
cancer node seems to easily make other nodes route requests to it, entropy
does not preserve anonymity well and is not resistant to censorship.
