Here's the thread:

http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/08/10/1614252&mode=thread

I don't see being slow in there, but it might be buried in some low rated
comments?

Constructive comments were evenly split between:

Poor usability (NOT confined to ugly isometric mode)
Not inventive enough.

I think this argues (if we are willing to take advice from Slashdot, which
seems kind of silly, IMHO) for both UI improvements & "research project" kind
of stuff.

But again, taking advice from Slashdot seems kind of silly.
