Maemo is a piece of junk.
It's an incredible mix of software of all ages, it's full of proprietary blobs and an excellent example for the meaning of the term "dependency hell". Frankly I'm surprised it works at all.
So no, I'm not happy with it.

Unfortunately compared to most of the other smartphone OSes out there it's still the least annoying one.

Dead, it is. A new generation, we will not see. Oh no. One by one the existing phones will fight honourably until there's not a single firmly attached microUSB port left. And then, history will turn into legend, legend will turn into myth.

That said, I don't think that Maemo is a piece of junk at all, and if the Lumia platform had been on Maemo, I would not be on Android now.

Maybe check http://wiki.maemo.org/CSSU for Maemo5 improvements?
As long as important parts are closed source it's really hard to continue development, and Nokia has currently no plans to open more code as it's rather complicated (requires lawyers and further testing and both costs money).
Maybe also check out http://merproject.org/ which is based on MeeGo.

Ask the kernel-power developers why KP is still based on 2.6.28 instead of 3.x! Then you'll know why. To make it short: The binary blobs needed to run the hardware are only available for the 2.6.28 ABI and since they are closed source they can't even be recompiled for newer kernels.

Or ask the Easy Debian developers why it was so long a wild mix of Lenny and Squeeze and why it still needs ugly hacks to make it Squeeze-compatible. Well, I'm an Easy Debian developer, sort of. And I can tell you that the reason is the mixed nature of the underlying Maemo system which is a Mix of Squeeze, Lenny and even older software which Easy Debian needs to be compatible with to work properly.

As for the dependency hell, have a look at the Marble thread! Then you'll see that there are incompatible versions of monav (one of Marble's dependencies) in the repos. Something like that would be unthinkable under Debian, at least for longer periods.
