Meego 1.1 netbook. Whats the point?

I put Meego 1.1 on a netbook (Eee 1000H). Installation mostly went fine except that the wifi did not work initially. I found the fix described here:

However, wifi still is not totally stable.

As for the UI, I am not sure why one should really bother with Meego on a netbook. The UI is not that easy or intuitive or eye catching etc. and the drivers and applications are mostly standard Linux stuff.
So then why should I get Meego as opposed to say Ubuntu or OpenSuse or any other Linux distro?
