I have the Palm Pre and I'm very happy with WebOS as an OS. Sure, there are apps it would be cool to have (like Shazzam), but there's nothing that's truly mission critical (for me, anyway) that it doesn't have now. I also really love the Palm developer community -- there are tons of free apps and in development apps that you can get for free. And unlike certain manufacturers, Palm/HP has no interest in shutting that practice down.

If you are curious about some app/type of app in particular, I'd be happy to check and see if it exists.

ETA: I forgot to mention that with the Classic app, you can also run many of the legacy Palm apps from the pre-WebOS days. I am still using Pocket Quicken for my checkbook and syncing it with my deskop Quicken.
