The Wave-in-a-Box interface is quite barebones. Having to hack together something different in GWT is a pain though. The big advantage is the Federation protocol. Not only do you get OT between users, but between servers as well. You also get existing gadgets/robots functionality. With Federation, there will be alternate Wave server implementations to choose from. I'm working with creator of lightwave to develop a very different interface: https://code.google.com/p/lightwave/ https://code.google.com/p/lightwave/ And here are some of the UI concepts: http://fleetinbeing.net/tensor-v1/ http://fleetinbeing.net/tensor-v1/ (miller columns for long, deeply nested waves. the top and bottom bars are totally unresolved, and will probably get cut) http://fleetinbeing.net/tensor-notes-v1/ http://fleetinbeing.net/tensor-notes-v1/ (more intuitive inline-replies) If anyone has suggestions, I'd love to hear 'em. I've been trawling HN for critiques of Wave's UI.
