That's valuable for a developer, not for an end-user, unless the end-user gets informed why he is not getting the apps he wants.

3. Light weight and powerful !
Very subjective in the market that values form over function.

4. Free compared to apples OS's so the saving can be put into better hardware !
Right on that. And that better hardware should be tightly integrated into the user experience.

Remember, we are not the users. What we want if often what they don't care about.
