A step backward? Because he didn't use WP API for the first version? That's kinda harsh. The WP API is pretty new and there's no reason why he can't switch to it at some point which it sounds like he's planning on doing.

I haven't used Desk yet because I'm not a big writer, but to say it's a step backward just because the first release is using an older authentication method seems a little ridiculous.
