Genuine question.

I know they were the scrappy startup doing different cool things. But, what are the most major innovative things that they introduced, improved or just implemented that either revolutionized, improved or spurred change?

I am aware of the possibility of both fanboys and haters just duking it out below. But there's always that one guy who has a fkn well-formatted paragraph of gold. I await that guy.

They have a really nice user-interface. I suppose being user-friendly and accessible can be considered innovative, but that's only when talking to idiots who don't see the immediate value in such things.

That's it.
