I keep on going back and forth on .net's myself. I do feel .net has a future as more and more people go online and .com domains become too hard to get.
For me it's all about the branding. .COM, then .NET, and I tend to stay away from .ORG ... because i feel it has very limited use.
You ask Joe Plumber and he'll know exactly what the 3 major extensions are .COM, .NET, and .ORG.
You ask any Joe 5th grader what a .INFO is and he'll tell you it's a proxy site.
So it's all about the general non-domainer community and their sentiments on what the extensions relate to. I've been in technology for most my life and never considered .NET to be about "networks"... I always considered it to be short for "Internet".
Am I alone?
