Well, I see this as conflating two issues. First, we've waited years for TB2 and we might have to continue waiting years for it. Second, can we create a better interface? I don't think people should sit around and have to wait for other authors. Schwern and Colin have done good work, but there's nothing there yet and I know Schwern is as bad as I am about pushing out new code :) Also, I think playing around with more fluent interfaces is a good idea. If my interface is great, why not? If it's bad, what would people *love* to see in a test interface which allows them to naturally write tests?
