They are--when you put a decent OS on them. Ubuntu Netbook or Hackintosh is the way to go. Windows is unacceptably dog-slow on my Core 2 Duo work laptop. There is no legitimate reason to expect better performance on a lower-powered device!
Of course, you have to have hands small enough to manipulate the keyboard and whatever junk pointing device is integrated into the 'book. The thing about that is most people should be able to determine if they're ergonomically compatible BEFORE they buy the netbook.
