I think the fact that "View Source" is a famous web browser menu item is
poignant for this discussion, especially given the power of the
Firebug-style web developer modes of all the big browsers today.
I believe the very simplest and most reliable is ...
I think we ought to think in terms of addressable market, and for me with
that perspective the ranking is,
Sugarizer in a browser,
Sugarizer installed via packages for existing mobile systems,
Sugar/GNU in a VM (which I wonder could be ideally bundled with VM software
and presented as a "desktop app"),
Sugar/GNU on a stick,
Sugar installed via packages for existing GNU systems,
Sugarizer/Android preinstalled on hardware
Sugar/GNU preinstalled on hardware
Sugar/GNU preinstalled on rugged hardware
