I've never booted off SD. I've never tried an alternate OS. I don't use Easy Debian. (Sorry, qole.) I've installed very little extra software. I've never even tried Maemo Mapper, the quintessential Maemo program. (Sorry, gnuite.) I think I surprised a few people at the Summit when they found out how little I've tweaked my tablet.

I've seen the need to tweak and bend tablets to the owner's will as the more "enthusiast" behavior. I'm just a happy user. Though perhaps one with "low standards".

I remember when I first got my tablet I was amazed by how nice & fast the web browser was (compared to my Palm TX's, not my Quad Core Desktop's, which seems to be what most people compare these things to), and how stable it was (again, compared to my Palm).

I liked how everything "just worked".

You can catch a little bit of my enthusiasm for my N800 with this review I wrote shortly after I bought it.

Since then I started booting off an SD Card, tried 4 different alternate OS's (KDE, Mer, Android, Debian), use Easy-Debian on an everyday basis, installed hundreds of applications, have taken up programming, and still, am very happy with it.

My point? There is no "single use case" that you have to have to be happy with the tablets.

I went from asking bundyo how to install an application to were I am now, and I've been satisfied with my purchase the whole time.
