Wave has a few things going for it that most other collaboration tools don't too. 1) It's fecking Google, since you're already one Gmail it's quite easy to include wave updates. There is already a firefox plugin that notifies you when you get a wave (mashable.com/2009/10/14/google-wave-notifier/).
2) It replaces most of your other tools. When wave gets perfected it's going to eliminate or make redundant a lot of google tools that you're already using; gchat, docs, etc. Why use the products separately when you can integrate and real time chat at the same time?

3) Apps – when people start developing apps to fix the inherent problems with Wave we're going to see some pretty snazzy stuff come out that is going to make the tool even more fun and efficnet to sue.

wave on.
