Are verbs obsolete?

[Darth Conan]

I hear many people saying that the 9 verbs system is obsolete and impractical, even retro games shouldn't use it. What's your opinion about that? Are you only using it to make Thimbleweed Park more nostalgic or because you like it? Would you like make an adventure with a more "modern" control scheme? (I like the verb system, by the way.)

I like verbs. I think they add a lot to puzzle solving. Are they obsolete? That is one of the things we want to explore and see. I hope they aren't.
