I actually like Sugar and the Journal. Performance isn't spiffy, but
it's fine for most of my web, email and ebook uses (but then, I didn't
do vids/music on it). A great travel laptop as far as I'm concerned.
I understand that for outside developers Sugar has been pretty
frustrating (undocumented APIs?). Most of what I've written about
OLPC and the XO is at http://configures.sarahelkins.org/category/olpc/

p.s. for anyone wondering what became of my job hunt, I've just
started as a network engineer at TerpSys, on the WebApps team
supporting the National Cancer Institute... lots of Linux!
