GTK was slated to be replaced by Qt in Harmattan long before the merger, so a complete UI rewrite was due anyway, and the substantial similarities between Maemo and Moblin on the lower layers were exactly what led to the merger happening.

Changes end users will see moving from Maemo 5 to MeeGo-Harmattan should primarily be ones they'd have seen moving from Maemo 5 to Maemo 6 anyway. Whether those changes are beneficial or not are up to each individual to decide.
