Our main problem is that computers have never been good at making suggestions to users. "It looks like you're trying to..." Clippyism was a disaster, but nobody ever came up with a better alternative. The trend on tablet computers seems to be toward minimalism, solving the problem by reducing the set of possible interactions to something easily comprehended by a user, but with very little scope for creative combination of tools.
