Can you give specific examples of these 'things' though?
It was exciting when I first looked at it and then I realized that this was actually not "democratizing" anything so much as ensuring a new class of folks would be able to create new centralized "everythings" in a new environment outside of the current system - without the benefit of the years of testing, regulation, and (sure) cruft that our current systems have because they're subject to political forces (which is actually a feature).
Maybe starting the wild west over again is a good thing? My money's on "not really" at the moment.
