webOS 1.4.5 has no public media APIs or mic access, which makes it feature incomplete enough in my eyes. I appreciate the ability to search my history/bookmarks/music/email from Just Type, along with apps now being able to add their own functions.
Furthermore, it's unfair to compare 1.4.5 with homebrew patches to 2.1.0 in general, because from what I've seen of people with Pre's out in pubic, they're still using the freaking default sounds and wallpapers. I doubt they care about homebrew. So 2.1.0 already brings them the addition of more than 3 pages, the ability to rearrange pages, and the ability to rename them.
webOS 2.1.0 doesn't really operate that differently in my eyes than 1.4.5, with the exception of added functions and it consumes more memory. If it's slow and clunky compared to what you're used to and what you're used to is a 1GHz Pre, well, perhaps you should wait until Uberkernal is released to make a more sound judgment, but do as you feel.
The webOS 2.1.0 meta-doctor is a great way for more people to jump aboard with webOS 2.0 who had no access to it previously and weren't going to be buying a device that is already eclipsed (the Pre 2) to get it, which means more patches for everyone on 2.0.1.
The OP's post is barely coherent to me, but there's no harm in trying it out on a test profile if you can get past "Oooooooh, linux is so hard" and if you're the type who is prone to feel that way, then you probably don't want to waste your time because the next thing you'll complain about is that your favorite patch isn't there, which you should have known before you flashed the doctor in the first place.
If you're on a Pre+, you have the RAM of a Pre 2, just not the processor, and there are quite a few people with them stuck on a contract for another year. If I had a device that I had another year stuck on that wouldn't be getting another update and the apps that come with another update, I'd try whatever means I could to put it on my phone as well.
