I really like the idea of Wave, which is probably why I feel that this person doesn't 'get' Wave. Many of the problems they had were mainly down to the fact Google let people in early while the software wasn't finished. It's not polished and it's not ready for mass-use. Also things like "lock-in" for Google accounts, isn't this what the protocol (called federation or something?) was supposed to solve? I thought wave was simply a client to it and that cross-server sharing functionality would come soon.
