I have a lot of respect for Anil, but I don't understand how he can conclude that Wave cannot be successful because it isn't easy enough for an average Web developer to comprehend, and copy and re-implement in competing ways. I am a Web developer, and much as I would like to take credit for driving the success, spread, adoption of technologies like RSS, or Ajax, the Web itself, well, I can't.
Admittedly I don't really get Wave. As a user it doesn't make me "want it", and that should be more indicative of its potential for success than whether I can program around it.
Or is he trying to push this Pushbutton Web, he keeps on keeping on, as if it would be easier to get excited about--as a user--than Wave?
It would seem to me Wave can be every bit as profitable and influential as MS Exchange, even if most of us cannot program our way around it over a weekend. For Google, that should be good enough.
