Inhumane?
No.
It's actually a very humane approach in that it lends some semblance of natural habitat to the experience.
But is Desktop Metaphor old, worn out, and inefficient at this point? Yes.
What should replace it? No idea. I'm not a real UX/UI theorist, designer, or engineer. I just pretend to be one online for money.
We can no longer examine natural human behavior and non-virtualized tasks for the answer. We have to actually venture into new territory and separate ourselves from human's old ways of interacting with their world to reach a new level. And I haven't got the noodle to figure out what that should remotely be like.
Nobody knows yet. Which is why it hasn't happened. Obviously people weren't happy with the Metro Metaphor for a "real" experience on a computer. So we need something unlike what people are used to currently, but breaks the binds we've built in a meaningful way.
