The state of h265 as of Nov 2015?

I haven't been following h265 at all. Can anyone summarize where it stands currently?

Current quality versus h264 (and also specifically in available PC encoders vs x264), what quality improvements are still expected (encoder tuning and yet-unimplemented features), current commonly used encoders and decoders, encoding and decoding speed and compatibility concerns and outlooks...

How long do you think it will take for h265 to replace h264 as the de facto standard format for PC creation and consumption? Is Bluray UHD now the real beginning of widespread adoption?
