You got it a bit backwards. I was saying (or at least trying to say) it might be a good choice even if it's NOT as popular in the mainstream as it perhaps could be based on what it brings to the table.

I'm quite skeptical about that. Nokia folks are swearing that Harmattan development will be far more transparent (by decoupling the hidden parts better than the outright chopping of the Fremantle SDK). Yet, there is nothing to see yet from Harmattan, and the switch from GTK to Qt is certainly a Herculean task. I wouldn't keep my hopes too high on seing Harmattan in just a little over a year from now. All this of course strictly IMHO, and I'd be glad if Nokia disproved me with at least a ROUGH roadmap we always bi*ch and moan about
