Merge with Meego maybe was a mistake. But at the same time Maemo5 is depecated lots of ugly hacks especially in UI.

so a total rewrite of UI was must.But seems this could be done without Moblin yes but if they had worked together they maybe could have pulled stuff from Maemo -> Meego but it seems this failed from start some stuff was not even allowed. And it seems like QtMobility is one example. Meego still has plenty of librarys instead of Qt some work is duplicate because of stupid decisions.

But I guess the merge with Intel was not because of moblin. More because of the "ecosystem" and make it simple to build apps for a "bigger platform" OBS buildsystem etc...

this has pissed of alot of gurus but was at the same time importan. Using scratchbox was a hell of bloated for begginers now we atleast has madde integrated in QtCreator. But still it is a bit tricky. BUT QtCreator has impoved ALOT latest months

But on thing to wonder is how much of Maemo Harmattan will be open maybe it will be more closed cause of the "new strategy" I mean take code from harmmattan an push it lback to WP8 instead
