I was frustrated two years, but we all know how Apple works. Ok, WO is different than OpenDoc/Newton/etc. in the sense that they are still working on it while the other techs they killed over the last 15 years was plain dead. But now, I'm more frustrated that after one year of telling people to stop waiting from Apple and we won't get anything from them, we still have people expecting a messiah.

That's why we had discussions in July 2011 and at WOWODC 2011 about the future. But lots of talk, not much action...

I stopped waiting for the messiah 18 months ago and I prefer to actually going forward than waiting for something that won't happen.
