Maybe asking too much, but, I wish they used stereoscopic cameras, with each camera being at typical eyes distance in between. Stereoscopic images could even be used later for automatic 3D-ing of the world with much better approximations than currently in use. Even if there are few people currently with stereoscopic viewing possibilities, that is just a temporary situation.

If you go to the Google campus, almost everyone there uses a laptop that is a Mac. However, you'll see people using linux for coding.
