MeeGo has always been in the hands of the community. With luck this will make hardware support more complete (GPS, etc.)

It won't have tons of great and commercial games and apps.
Well, it is a Developer Edition, not a general purpose edition. Of course, if I want commercial games I'll break out my DS or PSP, or sit at my PC.

Meego will have quite limited ui and functionalities than maemo.
Not necessarily. All UI and functionality requires development. No one OS is more or less capable than another unless the OS is fundamentally broken. Of course, it's this development effort that Nokia utterly failed to put into Maemo to make it a better phone OS and better for average users.

Qt will be certainly first choice to developers for developing app and hence will/can develop app for meego without having meego installed in device!
Maemo 5 is not 1:1 with MeeGo.
