We have surprisingly identical ambitions. BVic's "Future of Programming" is particularly relevent to several of your points and really puts how terrible our current system is in context.... https://vimeo.com/71278954 https://vimeo.com/71278954 I feel like this sentiment (of "everything is wrong") is gaining traction recently (last year/two). Maybe it's just wishful thinking though...

Although some people seem to share our understanding that things must change, it usually stops there. I haven't seen anyone present a radically new paradigm for computing (especially consumer UI) in the last decade. I intend to change that.

  I intend to do that too. Why don't we all get on a chat room and work at it?

      I've been pondering how to attack the problem of making better UIs for going on 10 years now. Half the time I think I'm completely out of touch and that my ideas are irrelevant (with good reason), the rest of the time I wonder what would happen if I actually tried to implement some of the stuff I've come up with. (I strongly suspect I'd get a rude shock and realize how much iteration would be needed to make it usable, heh.) I'd love to bounce ideas back and forth, but... agh, a Slack URL. I tried Slack once, felt too stifled, and bolted. The poor team I joined still has no idea where I went or why I left. I'm torn between asking for an invite and just passing because, ironically, the software being used grates too much (XD)... maybe you could enable the IRC gateway? One thing at a time though; if you're using Slack, so be it. My public email is in my profile. The private email I'd want to sign up under is different.
