Yeah, the startup time of the Linux subsystem is annoying (and Debian is rather conservative in its update policy, so I have to build a number of apps by hand). But the integration is pretty good - I can run X-based apps with cut&paste working almost all the time (e.g., emacs).
But for me, the big advantage of the ChromeBook is that it lets me do a remote wipe if I lose it while travelling.
