And here is where I put my hard(@$$) hat on.

The question is: why not?

Before anyone jumps to a response, I'm going to be a really hard sell on any rationalization against using maemo as designed. To be quite blunt, if someone resists using the proper resources that stubbornly, do I want to use their software? I realize that's very broad and there are likely good apps that aren't managed using maemo, but I'm not using them-- nor, likely, will I.

So again, the challenge is out there: why NOT use maemo? And I personally can't accept excuses like "I'm too lazy". In my opinion the only valid reasons against it would have to revolve around usability and technical issues.
