In the VDS panel today there was some reflection on if VDS is done (it's mission served etc etc)
This is really hitting a nerve for me because i've been wondering when vis will be done. When are our efforts going to be spent better elsewhere? How will we know? (#ieeevis)

In the first week of my phd i wound up trapped in a party conversation with a cs-theory person their big question about vis was "where does the field of vis want to be in 10 years". I kinda stumbled out a "its a human factors field, that's not how it works" answer (they weren't satisfied by this answer and eventually convinced themselves it was showing higher and higher numbers of dimensions graphically, which is dumb) but here i am 8 years later and i basically don't really know still
