"That said, I did this year try and meet people and ask their opinion, find out why they do what they do and at the bare minimum put faces to blogs and hands down that part alone was worth it."
I totally agree. Even though I was a bit, ehm, pissed after the keynote, what followed during the week more than made up for it. Even though most of it was a rehash of WWDC06. Repetition is a good thing, and the Q&A afterwards is even better.
All the sessions and labs aside, just being around and discussing geeky issues with so many creative people was truly a wonderful experience and it really sparked my desire to attend next year as well. Hopefully by then the iPhone has had time to go through a few revisions and we should know the future of the product line a bit more firmly.
My only sad point was that I didn't find time to chat with Scott, Daniel (Eran) and John (Gruber). Meeting Alcor on Friday made up for some of that, though ;)
