Well, there are of course _several_ features of MobileMe that are great, not just homepage stuff. I rarely even use their hosting. For me it's about synching all my contact and calendar details among all my machines and my iPhone. It's so easy to set up a new Mac and feel at home... Even if you have to use someone else's machine for some time while your Mac is being repaired, you can simply activate the machine on MobileMe and have all your details readily available.

Also: Back to my Mac is useful even at home. My iMac's my main machine nowadays, but from bed, I can simply use it. And from work, I can do the very same thing, albeit a bit slower, because it's over the internet.

iDisk is helpful as well.

Sure: You can replace all the single services one way or another, but MobileMe "just works" and is a breeze to set up on a new machine. Typical Apple.
