I am happy.
I've always wanted a real Linux phone that is well-supported both by a community and a commercial vendor.
Consider the alternatives: iOS and WP are closed, Android is based on Linux but needs a JVM to do most things - and of course is heavily controlled by Google.. Why is a true Linux phone where you can run native apps important? Because you can port existing libraries that people have worked hard to make on the desktop, easily onto the phone, and create awesome experiences without reinventing the wheel - consider Telepathy-supported unified IM.
You could also do lots of geekery - use your phone as a first-class development device (I've served a couple of websites for development work straight through my N900 over 3G, running a LAMP stack on the phone, while coding the whole thing in a shell using Vim and it's associated addons, right on the phone). That's not the point here though.
The point is that this gives you true freedom to do whatever you want. This involves building amazing apps, porting excellent libraries previously used on the desktop, and lots more.
From what I've read, I'm assuming that Sailfish lets you do all that.
