[Qt-qml] QML if Nokia goes WinPhone7?

[Charley Bay]

Oh, this hurts my heart:

<http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/2675/>

With Nokia backing Windows Phone 7, and (implied) abandonment of MeeGo, ...
that really puts QML into question.

IMHO, all the world is moving to "declarative property exposure" separating
the business logic from the interface, and *hands down* Qt/QML was the BEST
platform I've *ever* seen -- and defined the best-of-breed among today's
declarative property interface development paradigms.

This Nokia abandonment hurts my heart.  Nokia screwed up royally here -- I
can no longer recommend that our company pursue QML commercial development
seriously now.  Microsoft will win big (they needed attention on WinPhone7),
and they kill the *strongest* competitor possible (Qt/QML/MeeGo).  Nokia
will be screwed when they wake up one morning in the not-distant future,
realizing their developers have left them, they have mediocre tools and
platform, and no longer control their own operating system.

Quite seriously, the new Nokia CEO from Microsoft seems to still be working
for Microsoft.  This will inevitably become the developer equivalent
stupidity to the "New Coke" introduction, and the "AOL/Times Warner" merger.

So sad.
