Many of its flaws are simply due to the restrictions and inflexibility of a web interface. If wave were reimplemented as a desktop tool, then the interface could be moulded around an existing workflow - allowing people to discover new features, use it more efficiently, and of course, speed up the way to creating conventions on how to use Wave as a collaborative tool. I guess only until Google reaches that stage can Wave truly be useful for people and people can discover- as you say -"How Wave could work best for me".

Many of my colleagues that are a little more senior (read: old) have a hard time with IM. They tend to write like a ton of text like it's an e-mail. I am sure they would have similar complaints about IM because they like e-mail. It took me a while to figure out how Wave could work best for me, but now I am just amazed. From presentations to documents to task planning to blogging Wave is so versatile. I think people will establish some ground rules for large scale collaborations and chats and the developers will obviously improve the structure. I'm not a complete Google fanboy (no Android for me), but I think if you start using Wave as a replacement for documents you'll start to see it's power.

However when comparing against desktop applications - there really is no competition. We're reinventing the wheel in the most crippled of environments (and I use that statement with caution - the web is a canvas and should be seen as one). One should also realise that the majority of Google apps aren't that great. Google Sites is one such example - I don't think Wave will be any different.

I may really love Wave but I am so sick of hearing about how great things like Google Docs are. I mean come on, we had that stuff 15 years ago. The word processor is like notepad online. Anyway, I am actually hoping Wave tops other Google apps. I haven’t used it yet but I am happy you didn’t do the usual Google love review that I often see.
