And while I'm not a Flickr refugee per se, I definately had to choose this service over them for lack of obvious things like categorization (tags aren't enough by themselves!!!) Hehe- though as to your open API, I've been waiting for approval on my API Key since March 3rd, and have emailed tech support about it twice now... I suppose the only non-2.0 thing smugmug really does is close itself off from public/anonymous use. Flickr lets anyone use the service, contribute comments/tags/etc, and even have a limited quantity of pictures for free. Even though you can technically have a short trial (with credit card) with smugmug, it's not really the same thing as a service that allows the community to grow and contribute meta-information without being actual customers.
