I think Google's acquisition of EtherPad could result in a big improvement for Wave. I agree about the potential for clutter, especially if there are a lot of participants in the Wave. I'm inclined to give Google the benefit of the doubt here since Wave is still very new and in preview mode. As the service improves over time and people get used to using it I think it could become a very valuable tool. Mohit, thanks for the comment.

And my only irritation with it is the intermixing of content you're collaborating on and the comments related to it. On the one hand, it's nice to have comments related to the content right next to it. But, on the other hand, all the comments make the comment look and feel cluttered. Basically, I'm contrasting Wave with EtherPad (which Google just bought and integrated into the Wave team, ironically). And as of now, I'm leaning towards EtherPad. Then again, I hated conversation view when Gmail came out and now I can't live without it... I’ve used Wave in a similar way.
