Maemo is able and willing to change in it's own pace, but are you, Symbian folks able to change and adapt or do you just see a technically improved Symbian alternative in it and want the same features, same philosophy (and same limitations) you had, just in a shiny, modern package ? 'Cause that would be a shame, as Maemo is so much more.
The whole idea of migrating from Symbian to Maemo is to, at least, preserve the same features and to forget about its limitations.

Maemo, being feature-wise identical to Symbian would be a no-brainer decision because it wouldn't have said limitations, however, losing features makes that decision harder.

Either Symbian addresses its limitations, or Maemo adds the features it lacks. If Symbian does it first (and they are working on it), then Maemo won't gain new users from this platform and will have to look for them elsewhere.

The reverse, of course, can also happen and that would be more desirable for Maemo's future.
