It's funny this thread came along as I am in heavy debates about getting rid of my N800 (getting beyond frustrated with the OS) and heading toward an HTC Advantage.

HTC has done some great things putting a nice face on Winmo 6, but ultimately the draw for me is that there are just more options as far as device configuration goes.

I don't mind paying software devs for the work they do (providing the work they do is helpful), so actually paying for the software on winmo is not an issue. Between different OS builds, different browser options, and just a plethora of software that should really allow flexibility on the device (oh and that wonderful always on data) I don't think Winmo is really that bad.

Yeah, you have to work hard to find the programs that work best for you and how you want to use the system, but .. have you not used an NIT, all it is is work and command line, and pill modes I really don't see one being that much easier than the other.
