Google Wave sucked, and was a stupid idea on way too many levels to list (the concept, the technology, and the interface to begin with).

But Wave was not a 20% project, and that is probably one of the reasons it flopped, it got over hyped and over engineered in ways that would never have happened if it had been a 20% project.

I would be very interested in why you believe that Wave sucked.

Did you use it?

It is the only collaboration tool i know that works well on Windows/Mac/Linux. Yes it has its bugs, and I agree it could be implemented differently. But there is nothing like it, especially when many people want to edit the same document,

I also disagree. Google Wave had its flaws, but it is a great idea. It just needs to be finished and developed

Which it won't be, because Google has the resources to write it off as just another experiment that didn't stick to the wall.
