But the very ideas behind Xanadu are actually pretty silly - and make it the kind of thing you'd have to be paid to use.
Why so? You're saying this from the perspective of someone who has been using the Web for at least a decade, possibly a decade and a half. If that had not been your default view of a global online document system, Xanadu might not seem so strange.
Because it's so incredibly locked down. The Web works because you can do anything with it, and it doesn't get in the way - Xanadu is pretty much the opposite of "small pieces, loosely joined", which gets in the way of innovation.
