That is some incredibly r3tarded troll logic you're showing here.
I.e., let me rephrase: "I can't buy good steak at the supermarket anymore, so to spite the damned argibusiness I will from now on only eat fermented dog turds and cocaine".

That depends.
The most annoying and wrong-headed thing about MeeGo is their promotion of Qt as the preferred (and sometimes 'required') native toolkit.
Linux-with-Qt-required isn't Linux, it's a travesty.
If it's Linux, I want all the toolkits -- Qt, GTK, SDL, ncurses.
Note that I've got nothing to say about Tizen yet. If they allow any toolkit to be installed, like a proper Linux OS, then more power to them for doing everyone a service.
If Tizen is another locked-down, HTML5-only appstore toy, then they can go die in a fire for all I care.

Not good enough!

Is it possible to write html5-apps without some platform-specific javascript framework? I know Qt will never be supported on android/iOS but I wonder where the incentive is to support open standards when it comes to web apps.

**** like this makes me throw my hands up in disgust.
The dream of FOSS for a mobile OS is in ruins now. This just goes to prove that anything on this scale is just not possible on a community level. We are at the whims of the big boys, and they don't care a whit about FOSS.
HTML5? That's a web technology. It isn't something that you write all applications in. For Linux to be strong, it needs a common API. If Qt isn't there, that's shot all to hell.
