I just never thought email needed fixing, and I suspected "worse is better" [1] would apply to Wave adoption.

Nobody uses email anymore! It's a last resort. If properly nurtured, Google Wave easily could have become Slack and more. It was pointing in that direction.

    Yes, nobody uses email anymore. That's why 99% of websites have an email signup blocker for discounts, or a newsletter, or just for the heck of it. But they do want that email address.
