  Why re-invent the wheel?
  - David

Because google has announced it will be removing the wheel before the
end of next year.
Google has also open sourced the blueprints for the wheel and made it
very easy to construct your own wheel.

Many people found Wave too confusing and the learning curve was still to steep for regular users. I belong to groups who tried and it was abandoned. I think Wave was trying to be too much of a cooperative "Swiss army knife" and forgot that people want simplicity.

It wouldn't surprise me if Google came back with a modified version that is less daunting for simple users. To make it work, you must have mass appeal and a simple and seamless operation.
