Like many others, I was a long-time lurker on the atheos mailing list. I was happy to see it get forked, because it seemed to mean that some real progress would get made. In many ways that seems to have happened, and in others... Not so much. Note: This is the 3rd entry to our Alternative OS Contest which runs through 14th July!

On syllable, the redraw issue is a serious problem, at least in vmware
The program menu arranging itself by the metadata on the file is cool and makes it very easy to rearrange. but there's two problems
1. if you open the file browser and right click on an app the file browser tells you the app has
System
->Internet
as an attribute, but if you want to add your own program or mess with the current layout the attribute is actually os::Internet, not system
2. unless i missed something (possible considering the quality of the documentation) you can only nest metadata 1 deep so you can't say have folders within folders in the appmenu
