This is my last reply to you, russo_br. If you wish to have a decent conversation with me, just let me know.

I sure hope I've written software. I do it for a living. Oh, and I've made a few Maemo apps.
As I said applications wrote with GTK will need more work to port it to Meego than QT applications (GTK apps in general, not just Sygic), isn't that true???
And how do you base your opinion? Have you made a Maemo app? The only thing that will need "porting" is moving away from Hildon, which isn't earth shattering or cause to think porting will take 30 developers months to do.
Nokia is advising developers to choose QT for some time now. If GTK is equally supported like you said, what is the point of that?? Supported is different from seamlessly portability...
Nokia purchased Trolltech, creators of Qt. Nokia wants to push Qt across to Symbian as well. Their advice is nothing more than marketing. If you are not interested in supporting Symbian devices then you don't have to use Qt.
