Yes they are a some apps in devel and testing useful (depends on what you want and what you use), but this apps are going to be on extras sooner or later.

False. Many great programs have been in extras-devel for years. Last I checked, the famous utility "less" was one of them.

To me, an essential setup for the N900 is having nine windows and instantly switching among them. The very promising Mind-mapping program Hivemind is another.

If you haven't tried them, you are missing a lot of fun. But I don't think they made it beyond extras-devel, and you might risk flashing. These kinds of pleasures and risks are what gives the N900 the rep of not being for tyros.
