your half right its nice to see new stuff added but they are so many other better options dragons are cool! but i dont like potions its just too much effort for somthing thats isnt really worth it i would of liked to see more vehicles like airships since alot of mincraft players build them i wish he would add some more of the comunity mods even though he said he wouldnt *cough* pistons *cough* but they also said they will still be adding stuff to the game so,they may just be more

Really he wanted you to open your imagination, see what you build, and go out and explore and see what you find.

Basically thats how i think of it and with the new dimensions and new effects and new sounds I don't think Notch will stop here, I still think there will be minor updates added over time but well thats just my theory

ya, some people were getting bored with nothing to do, so he added more stuff to do, i think the items are coool, if you dont like em, dont use emm

well, not really, he wanted it to be open world, but still have things to do. He wanted you to be able to complete certain things to get stuff, like killing the Enderdragon to get the dragon egg.
