I do not know what it will look like when it is out of beta, but I am hoping it doesn't mess with too many rules and instead lets communities form their own rules of governance along with their own steem-backed front end.
I already am in talks with people in our community who have done guild management type things in the past and we all seem to agree the way forward is to let communities form and manage themselves by having their own front end website/forums but that have steem blockchain in the background (so upvotes will still pay).
I am not sure how much you have read about steem on here but I assure you if you dig you can see lots of cool stuff going on here already. :)
What is there NOT to be excited about? The not knowing what it will look like, or what it will be like, is the biggest ingredient to my excitement - the fact that we can only speculate on the many mysteries surrounding the direction(s) that Steem/ Steemit can go.
Dan made it clear that "social media" was a Trojan Horse to build a currency and user base... to support more valuable things like markets, oracles, data, etc. That's why I'm hanging in.

This is actually a good reason for steemit.com to stay in beta forever.
What will it look like?
I would assume that it will still be really similar to what steemit currently looks like.
No roadmaps? well guess why?
There are no other websites like steemit currently out there. It will take some time to work out some of the wrinkles here and there and at the end, I hope its a site that attracts many more users.
@snowflake at least you are still here on steemit and haven't left (:
There is a lot of development using the steem blockchain but how do you know if steemit.com will ever get out of beta? I guess that's the question I wanted to ask.
We really don't know. Could be next week and it can also be next month or even next year.
For all we know, WWIII can start tomorrow and no more steemit.
The point that I'm trying to make is that, you don't always know how life will turn out. That is also part of the beauty.
That is also why I made this post. When people start speculating (prematurly) on how the site will be or what it isn't now, the price of steem will be affected. Mostly everything in the markets is speculation. Like I said, all most people can do is be patient.
Nothing in life is guaranteed
Which is why your point that we are still in beta is moot :)
Though I understand people wanting a roadmap, they have to realize that even billion dollar companies do not give a development roadmaps publicly. Why? Because that kind of stuff is the kind of stuff competitors will use to try to get an edge on you. In blockchain space, where there are plenty of people smart enough to clone things, I would personally say I am kind of glad they are working on their roadmap behind the scenes. :)
