HD-DVD does have some benefits. Despite the capacity issue, they are easier to make (vendors can modify existing DVD manufacturing equipment), are more resilient (data is 0.6mm below surface vs 0.1 on BluRay) and the format has more interactive features. Plus it's not proprietary Sony.
They also have created a 51GB 3 layer HD-DVD format.
Currently,I really don't care which format wins, as a good upconverting DVD player does the trick for now. But hey, for once maybe Sony will bring out a format that actually goes somewhere. I mean with a track record like... betamax, memory stick, digital 8, UMD etc. you be the judge :)
