I can't help but cringe everytime I see screenshots of Google Wave.

Google Wave is a protocol. What you see screenshots of is a web app built with the Google Web Toolkit.

I love the way it looks, nice clean layout very easy on the eye IMO, but I guess its very subjective.

It's very busy. Very non-linear. Lots of space is taken by panels that aren't important for whatever has your current focus.

And when they squeeze in ads, it will be even worse.

The web as we know it today is a scrollable web. I'd like to see also a flippable web in the near future.

Where long documents are presented in one page and you can flip pages back and forth, instead of scrolling up and down, accommodating content depending on its font size and viewport.

Again, I support BOTH models, so it is up to the content creator where to use each.
