I can't help but be a little skeptical of this glowing praise, coming second-
hand from the people who designed the Lisa.  I don't doubt that they are quite
proud of their work, and perhaps justly so; however, when I want a balanced
view of something, I don't go to the person who built it.
Personally, I place far more weight on the comments of people who have actually
*used* the system, since they can be more objective about its performance.
The comments have been mixed, which suggests that Lisa is a good (but not great)
product.
Time will tell whether Lisa is here to stay, but for the time being all we can
do is wait and see.
