I thought this part of the review was a bit over the top. The author seems to conflate "useful to me" with "useful to anyone" throughout. And in service of such a position, some very black and white conclusions are reached.
Where utility is concerned, we live in a world where bullet journaling on paper is still very popular and also a relatively recent development. It's not exactly the same experience as your brand new tablet may offer, but it's not expected to be. Similarly, in my experience, Haiku was very directly useful, but I didn't go into the experience expecting to surf the Ars website or watch videos on YouTube. I used Haiku on a netbook, and it was a terrific, appropriate, and even tranquil, environment for writing, organizing, planning, and reading.
In short, I found that Haiku was useful and desirable for getting away--and this includes getting away from the exact conditions the author of this review was trying to equate with a minimum bar for a personal standard of utility.
