Please refrain from anecdotal evidence, it's not helping anyone. There are Qt based apps even in extras (not -devel) that are working just fine (like Qt mapper), and my own dev experience show that Qt is quite usable even in it's current state. Scratchboxing is not for the faint hearted, but let's not FUD folks.

people that are their "council". Maybe Quimm Gil comments a bit on how good is this community, and where are the simple steps or guides if anybody wants to write a small application...
Take a look at the wiki or some sources from extras - for example if you're interested in qt and C++, you should analyze qt-maemo-example. The biggest problem newbies face is the potential unfamiliarity with the linux/debian workflow, not Maemo itself (apart from some scratchbox magic, of course, but if that bothers you, just use Python until your linux skills sharpen).
