I can't speak for anyone else, but this article didn't add anything that hasn't already been over-hashed on HN already. LightTable has been on and off the front page fairly consistently for the last year, if not longer.

All this article did was make a series of sensationalist (borderline absurd) claims, allude to some new feature or product, and linked to a LT demo video (the content of which is also not new, afaik).

Thus, my personal negativity is not so much a reaction to Light Table itself - but rather the shockingly low journalistic standards of Wired.

FWIW :

My personal experience with Light Table wasn't particularly memorable. I've played around with it on at least a few occasions, but have never really found a true place for it in my workflow (for more than one particular reason - be it developing over layers of virtualization, clunky customization, bugs, etc.).

I'm giving it another shot now, because I can't resist shiny new toys.
