I ask myself this question as it pertains to the future of music. Digital Audio Workstations such as Ableton Live and Logic Pro dominate the scene when it comes to making music with a computer (at least in pop music), and companies such as Splice are trying to create collaborative networks around them.

Text based interfaces and audio programming languages such as SuperCollider open up a whole new world of musical creativity, and would lend themselves to collaboration (IMO) better than GUI based ones. The obvious hurdle for people is learning how to create things/music/art with text.
