I'm with you on #4 without reservation. Most of the examples shown on the Hype site are – and I don't want to be overdramatic here – terrible. They're the kind of inaccessible, hard-to-update, ploddingly-paced, opaque sort of web front end I had to wean myself off of half a decade ago, and open web standards and mobile compatibility don't suddenly make these practices okay again in 2011. I'm kind of dumbfounded at Gruber gushing that these constitute "a glimpse of the future." I am excited about Hype, though. Not as a tool to build sites, but as a tool to build the kind of informational animations and animated elements for which we used to use Flash. I'm sure I'll be building all sorts of things that go into semantically-formed pages with Hype.
