Nobody has said it was. It's step 3 of 5 for Nokia on their plan for a consumer-friendly device.

The development framework is fine. The problems lies in the fragmented nature of maemo application repositories. This will improve going forward as Nokia improves the Garage and more developers start using it.

For now, there's a wonderful website at http://gronmayer.com/it that will solve all of your application and dependency needs.

If people can't be bothered to try and help themselves, then why should the helpful sorts around here be expected to stop and hold their hands everytime another one pops up? (Which is incredibly often these days)

Help on a community-driven forum like this is a two-way street. Those with the knowledge are more than willing to help out those without as long as they are willing to put forth a little bit of effort to solve their own problems themselves.

Nobody here is paid of the support they provide, and they only do it out of the goodness of their hearts, so an attitude of entitlement isn't a good way to get help from them.*
