The ZUI was the worst idea in Raskin's book. You can't use muscle memory for the system because the target x,y positions and sizes change based on how zoomed in you are. Worse, the ZUI doesn't solve the biggest bottleneck in the existing GUI canon - asking the user to arrange and keep track of his own crap. His ZUI concept is like the mac or windows desktop, except now you get a magnifying glass.
The better method is search, or more accurately, comprehension, but this is a grail quest, and my solution isn't done yet.
