In my opinion
less than Alphasmart Neos. They don't allow you to edit your document (no arrow keys). All you get for editing is a Backspace key.
From their own site...

...To maximize writing productivity and minimize writer's block, that type of scrutiny should come after, not during the drafting process. As it comes, the Freewrite's editing functionality is limited to using the [backspace] key only. You can review what was written before using the [pg up] and [pg dn] keys but there is no way to move the cursor into the document or copy/paste. ...

The cynical part of me thinks this is their way of avoiding scrolling on eInk screens because they know the limitations. But they advertise the lack of editing as a "feature" that keeps your productivity churning.
When I found out about this "feature" I lost all interest in the Freewrite.
