Is the Higgs Theory a Disappointment?

If you're a particle physicist and you discover something and confirm its validity, then that doesn't leave much work for you. But if your goal is to understand the nature of the universe, then you want dangling threads to pull on. Something else we might have found was something like supersymmetry. This idea that every particle that we have is actually just one of a pair - there's another version of it. And so some of the people who predicted that we would see them at the large hjon collider are eating crow a bit.
