Hm. If we're blue-skying, I'd say the ergonomic issues of a direct manipulation UI are still very bad.
I prefer an indirect manipulation paradigm for two reasons: 1. Ergonomics; 2. Abstraction.
I think the abstraction that digital media give/force on us is powerful and frees us from physical limitations.
Collaborative stuff is less limited in a fully digital medium, because 'people' can occupy the same space and see content from the same perspective.
I guess what I'm saying is I'd prefer to see dedicated output device (monitor/glasses/retina laser?) and a dedicated, robust, tactile input device. Like a keyboard.
