My opinion is this: who can I speak Esperanto with?
...
Exactly.
The problem with Esperanto is that languages don't work like that: they're not created out of thin air. They exist because people speak them and they come into existance from other languages that get distorted beyond recognition by the people who misuse them.
No living language is known to have been conjured into existence, with perhaps the possible exception of a few rare language isolates like Basque that might have been invented from scratch a long time ago, since nobody knows where they come from exactly.
That's why I want to learn interlingua. It lets you communicate (one way) to most romance language speakers
Interlingua is awesome. See if you can understand this:
Interlingua es un lingua auxiliar international naturalistic basate super le vocabulos commun al major linguas europee e super un grammatica anglo-romance simple, initialmente publicate in 1951 per International Auxiliary Language Association (IALA). Appellate a vices Interlingua de IALA pro distinguer lo del altere usos del parola, illo es le subjecto de iste articulo e le lingua de iste encyclopedia integre.
Honestly Esperanto is fairly readable for romance speakers. Of course Interlingua much more so.
