Let's hope so. I've pretty much given up on using Maemo, I want something completely open so instead of spending time making apps that are useless whenever new firmware is released, developers can contribute to functionality of core apps / the operating system.

Fluxbox or Xfce work pretty well with mobile devices and don't waste near the screen space.
Froma a user point of view, the Hildon desktop is perfect for a mobile device. Yes, it could have some better concepts, but compared with a full blown environment.
From a developer point of view, the API design decisions are just plain bogglesome.
