Like so many areas outside of tmo the design and user interface is horrible. I like packrat as it gives the information I want including download information on one page. To each his own I guess.

Also, I can target my search to one OS version (OS2008 for instance) which is useful when doing a more wide search for, say, "clock".

If type in "Clock" in the maemo.org link I get a plain list of apps without stating what OS version they are for - compare that to a targeted search using PackRat.

I can also, if I want, search just within a certain repository.

The maemo.org/packages option is good to have but I sure wouldn't call it "KISS" as it's rather horrendous in both presentation and UI.
