Decisions not options: me too. Its like the option to edit an image to place a border around it. Why in h%$L did WP remove that editing option? Tons of complaints and still it is no longer part of WP. Bad bad decision-making process that will have lots of people looking at "options" as other platforms mature.

Quality (performance, interface, user experience) will keep WP on top. Let's face it, the frontiers are not what they used to be. Text, audio, video and images will be the core of all blogging platforms for a long time.

When computing technology evolves to fiber-in-the-box and maybe cloud-based quantum computing whereby we develop holographic interfaces, then the game changes. Holography in a box, ie: in a monitor that projects holographically within itself will probably be the next exciting stage.
