What is your opinion on this shit? I'm about 100 pages in. I am enjoying it, although it is quite dense and rather "heady." How do you view existentialism? Important or completely worthless?

Is it harder to read than being and time?

To me yes definitely. I'm definitely going to have to reread this at least twice to fully comprehend it. The first part of the book is arguably the most difficult. After that it gets less intense but no less painfully concise.
good hegel introduction

the translator's introduction does a better job explicating Sartre's system than Sartre does

I don't think it is. Sartre's still working largely within the traditional framework that Heidegger tries to undermine, so I've always found Sartre easier to read.

It is essentially a bad reading of Heidegger smashed into a bad reading of Hegel. It was neat to notice all of the stuff Sartre got from Hegel (presumably via Kojeve) when I finally got to the Phenomenology of Spirit.
