No matter what some exclusive developers say, asymmetrical processors with glorified DSPs running on low memory must be a bitch to program some algorithms with.
So Insomniac (released their second much improved game 1 year after Resistance) can do it, they are sharing their knowledge with 3rd party developers. It will get a lot easier for developers to tap into this potential.
BTW, in part 3 of the Insomniac gametrailers interview they call the SPEs to be the core of the system and following games will become even "a lot" better. They also talk a little about how they are sharing their knowledge with 3rd party developers:

IMO Resistance was the most impressive launch game, beating any other PS3 or XBox 360 launch games. And Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune as the most impressive Next Gen games currently available.
