Ever tried writing bindings to Qt library? Not a nice job.
While GObject bindings can be autogenerated using gobject-introspection.
Those highlighted sentences are utterly insane.

I was going to refute those arguments but I do not want to be drawn into a holy war.

What I like about maego, meego & n900 is the desktop/library is not the star - it is the applications.

Until now it was refreshing not to hear about the whole "gtk vs qt"/"gnome vs kde" arguments again.

People have enormous choice in how they want to write software for the n900. Many different aspects of knowledge is brought to the table because different people use different languages.

These technologies are tools.

But you had to open your big f***ing mouth and complain about it and the ugly-warty head of "gnome vs kde"/"gtk vs qt" rears it's ******ed drooling head again.

Thanks for that.
