It is not about the change in the UI IMHO but the overall smaller screen. If you take a look at my few other postof mine you'll see that I'm not a developer, coder or anything like that, just a day to day user with a hang for playing around.

From the enduser's point of view: I rarely see the sidebar (mostly after reboot or checking weatherforecast) everything else is done with apps in fullscreen.
Usecases: Browsing, IM (Pidgin), Media (Mediastreamer, Canola, mplayer, build in mediaplayer app), Reading (fbreader, evince), feeds (feed circuit) - tasks (I think) 95% of the users are doing, correct me if I'm wrong there
If you'd ask me, these are all apps that hugely benefit from the bigger screen the N800 offers compared to 3,5''
So screensize would be a step back in *my* usecases
