The above link takes you to a blog entry and in it a screenshot of a
CAD interface. CAD interfaces are infamous for being incredibly
complex. This takes it to the other extreme.

Personally, I think there is something missing here. Communication layer.
When I deal with paper and pencil (the inspiration here), there is a
long history of use and well my schooling in it. Think about it. We
are taught from a very young age how to work with paper and pencil. It
is not something we figure out overnight. Not at all.

But I'm assuming there is a lot more functionality here which implies
a greater abstraction for the user to figure out.

Of course, I can't use it, so I guess I have to just critique and wait.

What do others think?
