UKI replica of Google Wave

Somebody explain to me how this is even close to being worthy of the title "replica".

Things that are not done:

- the special scroll bars

- maximizing panels

- minimizing the panels to the top bar

- dropping down panels from the top bar

- searching?

- drag and drop anything, really

This demo is 99% CSS and images, and 1% javascript; pretty much all that is functional here are the buttons and panel resizing (in a different way than Wave actually does it). There are well-established jQuery plugins that would let you make buttons and resizable panels in far less than 100 lines of JavaScript.

Dupe:

I have no idea what this is trying to prove. Without any dynamic behavior, it is really a very trivial thing to code the interface in a very short time. What's the point?

Ah! but it doesn't have the fancy scroll bars that google wave does!

Actually, it crashes Opera for me. I need to stop being bleeding edge about my browser, I guess.
