Yeah. I came across this this morning, and immediately started dying inside. This is such a *terrible* idea, and I can't imagine who on earth signed off on it...
I imagine this is happening because it would take too long to work up the existing tech (QtAnimation & co) or to properly shoehorn Maemo concepts into the existing Qt API - and I can understand that - but stupid decisions like this can *only* harm uptake of Maemo development in the future. Save a few months now, ****** development uptake of your platform for a few years in the future.
QMaemo5KineticScroller scares me the most out of those I think. Who the **** came up with that monstrosity of an idea? I mean, I can almost understand some UI elements and widgets might require a more platform specific implementation, if at least temporarily, but kinetic scrolling is *not* something limited to one platform! Or does Symbian not exist at all now?
