Freenet is not really good. For what I know, it is heavy, slow, doesn't work that well in practice, and has a huge and old codebase. What is more, it includes a lot of bells and whistles but (for all I know) doesn't separate cleanly the minimal backend for storage and the frontend of all the features that run on that.
There is certainly a use case for a more modern project that would try to implement cleanly the base features of Freenet, with a clear interface.
the good news, I guess, is that this system might get people more acquainted with content-based networks, so freenet will become a next logical step.
on the other hand, I just don't see much point in development of non-anonymous system when we have a good anonymous system already
