Hammers haven't changed much since the days of Thor, although they've evolved a bit.

They still bust heads better than just about anything. Lack of revolution just might be a *good* thing.

The word "hammer" implies to a specific "user interface". If you had said something like "the tools which you use to drive a nail through wood have not changed much ..." (or better yet: "the means of attaching two pieces of wood together..."), it would have been untrue, since nailguns have been invented.

Have you thought up the new, revolutionary interface that will sweep everything else away before it?

Neither have I, so that's ok. Neither has anybody else.

Well, take a look at ZigZag (the user documentation has screenshots). I don't know if it will sweep anything, but many of the project members hope so.
