I would take issue with that. The basic concept is nice (swiping to get to the task switcher is intuitive), but the current implementation is too limiting. I often find it to be less productive than using Maemo 5, and the lack of 'proper' homescreens is a fail IMO. Having alternate states for applications when minimised is not an adequate replacement for homescreen widgets.
Personally I've never used more than 2 homescreens on any platform. It really depends on what content the notification screen can show. I've seen it displays wheather and calendar events (and maybe stuff from 3th party apps?). In general I think its a very well thought out UI and for the vast majority of users perfectly adequate. But I'm satisfied anyway if it offers the same effortless multitasking as maemo .
