Yes, it deserved to die... and I hope it burns in hell!

Sorry... I had to do it. I don't think that Maemo/MeeGo/Qt was utilized to the best of it's potential, it didn't gather enough 3rd party vendors that would have stayed with it, and Nokia didn't market it well to help increase the adoption rate.

Simply put, I'm not surprised it "died", any parts of it. But I think Nokia is to blame. Not this community... Nokia.
