Submission + - Google Wave Progress Report: 'No Killer App Yet' (bnet.com)
Michael_Curator writes: "Google Wave may have a brilliant future, but its present is frustrating developers who've had a chance to work with it.
Ben Rometsch, director of the Solid State Group, told me that the Wave user interface "yearns for super-fast Javascript performance," but doesn't get it, is very slow to debug and offers a "protracted and painful" development cycle. As he described working with Wave, which is currently in developer preview, the words "slow," "protracted" and "painful" cropped up more than once. Granted, all the developers in the world share a single instance running on one server, but frustrating developers you depend on to drive adoption of this application isn't the smartest strategy ever devised."
