I like a lot of the ideas in here - double sided cards, multicard display (I'm seeing that much like Windows 8, supporting two different side-by-side resolutions so you could have a small twitter feed (1/4 the width) for example which you could tap to expand (to 2/3 width) to send messages), nicer lock screens...
I mainly have small gripes. For example, I wish file browser controls on websites did /something/, even just bringing up the neutered file picker already present in the OS. I wish you could see more detail pretty much everywhere - connected WiFi speed, download speeds (ETAs even, just a filename and progress bar is not enough), centralised downloads so you don't have to leave browser cards open etc. The fact that all my album artwork from music gets added to the photos app in seperate folders is a constant annoyance, and I can't figure a way to get rid/stop all 80 odd folders showing up, which basically makes the photos app entirely useless because it takes longer to load and find the picture you want than just to browse to it in Internalz - why can't I exclude specific locations in the photos app? Then of course, there's that ~3 minute start up time...
In general I find the OS responsive and snappy, website rendering is generally acceptable (although when it doesn't work its incredibly annoying, thus definetly warrants updating (if possible without breaking /everything/)), synergy's amazing as long as you use the right services (ie, we need more synergy support), and the list goes on... It's got a lot going for it, and a lot not...
Fyi I'm a software developer with a degree in Computer Science who got a 'Pad in the sale, and I'm really hoping I can contribute some enhancements to webOS' open source future. It needs to get out of the awkward situation of being admired by many nerds but bought by few thanks to the lackluster hardware and somewhat underdeveloped software.
