Well, I agree that OAuth 2.0 sucks somewhat, or at least, it could
have sucked a lot less, but if we want to support "in browser" apps,
like e.g. Unhosted/HTML5 web apps it is not really possible to use
OAuth 1.0. Therefore we are stuck with OAuth 2.0, or have to come up
with a new protocol:

""At the same time, I am expecting multiple new communities to come up
with something else that is more in the spirit of 1.0 than 2.0, and
where one use case is covered extremely well. OAuth 1.0 was all about
small web startups looking to solve a well-defined problem they needed
to solve fast. I honestly don’t know what use cases OAuth 2.0 is
trying to solve any more.""
