What should follow the web?
Though I disagree with many of the points made here, I love that this person is taking a position and putting in the real work to to lay out his argument for it.I think the main point he's missing is that most platforms die due to lack of adoption.  The ones that succeed must attract developers and the current state of software regrettably shows that developers (and users) aren't generally motivated by security concerns -- they're motivated by more fundamental questions like "can I get the job done quickly" (users) and "can I get paid" (developers) and (importantly) "can it run on an iPhone" (which kills most new app platforms immediately).This post focuses a lot on tech, but platforms rarely succeed for having good tech.  If history's any guide, they succeed by having adequate tech and a huge pile of marketing money.
