Bad resistive (most of them) >>>>> capacitive > good resistive.
Nokia N900 has very good resistive screen. Of course usage pattern is a bit different, as you still have to apply minimal pressure, but thanks to that you get pixel precision even when using just a fingernail.
Would you be able to do anything like that on capacitive? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66RBfrBgL2E
This is a phone for hackers who like to do extraordinary stuff with their phones. I've been runing standard XFCE desktop on full Debian GNU/Linux on my Neo Freerunner, I've been remote controlling PCs with VNC on my Nokia N900. Capacitive is good on Kindle or featurephones like iPhone or Android devices, maybe on tablets. On true smartphones, capacitive is a no-go.
Choosing capacitive screen for Neo900 would make the most important target of this project just go away.

I want the opposite, a nice netbook/smartbook/ultrabook/whateveryoucallit running an ARM instead of a damn Intel. Some of the Asus Transformers are about the closest it seem like you can get, especially the TF700KL... Expensive and hard to buy though.
The project links to this video to show how good a resistive screen can be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66RBfrBgL2E

I think I'll be owning one soon, even though I recently bought a new desktop so really shouldn't be wasting more money on computers .
