That said, it is possible to be bold and strike gold. Prezi and their
unique view of a presentation is one example: http://prezi.com/. In
such cases the new feature set might be intrinsically so valuable to
the user that it more than compensates for the learning curve and
lower interop with other editors. They re-base their expectations on
the new thing, and that defines the new normal.
Wow! I looked at Prezi and it's very fascinating to me; not the
presentation itself (as a mass product we will have no chance go move
away from the slide paradigm), but the UI stuff. Have you seen their
object manipulator when they have an object selected? A very interesting
alternative to the green handles :-) Also their circle-based menu is
intuitive, cool and seems very easily being adapted by any user. That's
an interesting direction to go!

Sincerely,
