You make good points. I guess I'm more hopeful that the UI is fungible if the core ideas shine through.
I'll be most interested to see if they figure out a way to make federation easier to understand and use. At first I thought I wanted a globally editable central wiki with some company stuff and links out to individual wikis for project notes, developer knowledge base, and journals. It took a while for it to sink in that only the owner could edit the first one and really everyone needs their own to do anything. It's really hard to shift the mindset from shared state to single owner and fork to like, fork to change.
