This is a pretty bad way to abandon a project.<p>They didn't mention Qt once in their announcement despite Meego including a:
Easy to use, flexible and powerful UI/app development environment based on Qt<p>Just read the comments to feel the anger of the developers. It is just really disrespectful to obviously not address/acknowledge the concerns of your own developer community. Shame.<p>I'm glad I'm not in that boat.
From GTK, to QT, to HTML5. I'm noticing a trend here- spend several years developing a platform, and once it is starting to show some promise switch toolkits and restart from scratch!
Maemo -> Meego -> Tizen<p>When will this end and we get a 'finished' product instead of starting from scratch again and again?<p>Maybe iteration is just too slow and results in the current project being completely outdated before it's even done.
Samsung wanted webOS, but they didn't want to pay for webOS, so they go to Intel and persuade them to dump Meego to build "a web OS". I remember reading somewhere that Samsung was interested in "a web OS". Instead of going to the OS that has a million devices, start from scratch for cheap. Great.
