Yeah, I had positive experiences too, nice guys (and it's not that bad even when we disagree about something). I can understand some people preferring certain technologies, but occasionally it gets from a 'why I like XYZ' to a 'my tool is better than your tool' dispute which rarely brings good results. For the record, I like Qt better even though I used both in the past, think gobjects are a bigger hack than moc, so there, let the flame begin But it's not really a fight. Maemo/MeeGo is in the unique position in the embedded arena that you can have both (and more) toolkits, code for whatever you like. Dissing Nokia for not pushing your favourite tool is IMHO pointless. Qt people could have said just the same during Maemo's GTK+ phase.
