To expand on your post a bit:
Used it for some courses during my masters. It was a painful experience. When you get to ~100 entries (simple text), it starts lagging so much, I could type a couple of lines of text, that would slowly get updated for the next minute. You cannot easily save images (preview, right click, save as... works). There's no serious way to print. When you work with others you either start mixing answers and questions with someone editing just below you, or start a new section for everything and allow the wave to explode to >500 entries of silly stuff. "Stuck" statuses still occur (waves that are always read, or always new). And there are loads of other small problems I'll skip here... I really waited for the Wave, but now that it's as reliable as it was in the sandbox, I don't see how it can be useful for me.
