I think that's where the Maemo argument gets crushed. You rather use "desktop grade" applications on a mobile device with a 3.5" display instead of using optimized applications for it. Once again, I will pose the question:
Do you think one could modify a spread sheet quicker and with more ease on an N900 using Gnumeric, "desktop grade" application or on an iPhone using what ever the best spreadsheet application there is?
While it might give you a huge nerd boner, I have used Gnumeric, and I can say with a good amount of certainty that it's not gonna work out in the N900's favor.

I don't want to debate but I think you are wrong on MyPaint's benefits on the n900...
This thread especially shows the benefits of MyPaint...

Oh sure, I'll admit that right up front -none of the Nokia NIT line have been popular enough to draw the kind of support that iOS and Android enjoy. So yeah, "app" support is thin on the ground.
But still -- my N900 is a tiny portable computer. It runs much of the software that I use daily on my desktop machines. My iPhone, on the other hand, is just a cell phone that runs apps. It runs none of the software I run on my desktop machines, and even if I hacked it, I doubt I could get most of it to run. So at least for me, switching from Maemo to iOS or Android would involve a fairly significant reduction in functionality...

Now compare that frivolous task with Maemo, write your own Application (hours/days/weeks)
