Not much of a feedback if you are asked why you love dropbox. I don't know why someone would _not_ love dropbox...

Closed source binary blob needed for client. Meaning it doesn't work on PPC/MIPS/ARM computers. (Not important to most, but it's a valid technical reason why not.)

I was just thinking about this. This is the only reason that would keep me from switching to an ARM smartbook if a good one ever came out.

I'm sure if ARM based netbooks ever became actually popular Dropbox would take the time to compile an ARM version of the client.

  z:~ Zach$ cd /Applications/Dropbox.app/Contents/MacOS/
  z:MacOS Zach$ file Dropbox 
  Dropbox: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
  Dropbox (for architecture ppc):	Mach-O executable ppc
  Dropbox (for architecture i386):	Mach-O executable i386

Looks like it can run on PPC. Or do you run PPC on a non-Mac OS?
