I use the OEM diablo*on my n800 but I also follow very closely the MER development as it's our future when Nokia drop the ball on the n800 and n810 like they dropped the ball on the 770.
running dual boot to a SD is pretty straight forward if you follow the very simple instructions on MER webpage

latest OS
Triple booting, all running same OS, used for troubleshooting/support
KDE 3.5.8 also installed, but this runs on top on maemo natively, so its still the latest mameo OS, with a KDE frontend

So I decided to leave things alone. My 810 has also been hacked in almost every way described (or not) on these forums, and the idea to start over paralyzes me.
In the end, I bet that with Chinook I've practically everything I could have on Diablo. Several apps, in fact, have been built (autobuilt?) for both, and I can enjoy tear and abiword the same way Diablo users do.
Now you made me think that I've to go to backup my Chinook partition!

I'm curious because I just purchased the N810 in mid June of 2009, and therefore I'm still pretty happy with Maemo Diablo (since it and apps for it are still so new to me), but since I would love to use this handy little device for years to come, it would be nice to know which direction most people are heading with regard to the OS of choice, because yes I would like to follow the crowd.
I'm assuming most will be heading to Mer, but are you doing that now or waiting for it to become more stable?
