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.
