I don't think so. There was a future-oriented aspect that no longer seems pertinent. Developers will want to feel like they're catching the next wave, or at least staying current. I'm not a developer; and I haven't progressed beyond the N8x0 series. Maemo got as far as step X-1 of a promised X steps to a polished consumer device. I was waiting for such a device. It apparently won't be from Nokia, and I won't be here much or at all anymore. Most others will move on, too.
Still playing devil's advocate here... but didn't the folks (it's still there, but bear with me) that coded only GTK feel that way when Nokia made the decision to go Qt?

Or didn't folks feel that way when MeeGo came out right after the release of the N900 and that meant no more deb but rpm?

The whole part of any transition surrounding Maemo and/or MeeGo was that the devices and the programming platforms were always changing - well, something was always changing. Maemo started and stopped so many times that we just got used to it.

This community has plenty of legs on the N900. I just hope it doesn't dry up so fast like it did on the N810.
