I had one, and I wrote a lot of code on it. There was pretty much nothing else on the market that could do web browsing in that portable of a form factor, and at that price point. Steve was somewhat right to worry about them -- in an alternate history they would have taken over as the dominant form of computing, creating a whole evolutionary tree of tiny laptops, converged with keyboarded mobile phones, at all price points and build qualities.
The 11" Air I got to replace the Eee was much better in every single way. One note is that the thin-and-long of the Air was much more portable than the chunky but stubbier Eee. It just fits better into the kinds of bags we all have. The thinness wars started then.
