Yes, Sailfish & Tizen, both coming from MeeGo, are the most comparable to Maemo 5/MeeGo Harmattan. Comparing the new mobile OS, IMHO :

- Saifish OS : Linux kernel, glibc, X11, Qt 4.8/QML, Python/PySide, Alien Dalvik JVM to run many thousands of Android softwares, etc. I.e., a true successor for Maemo 5 & MeeGo Harmattan. Few thousands of Qt4/QML/Python/PySide softwares can be ported from Maemo 5 & MeeGo Harmattan;

- Ubuntu Phone/Tablet OS : Linux kernel, Android drivers used with libhybris, SurfaceFlinger graphical server, Qt5/QML, HTML5, Python (but there is no PySide for Qt5 until now), etc. Many thousands of Ubuntu packages are already available (by using apt-get), but only softwares with GUI in Qt5/QML will run, so the success of Ubuntu Touch will depend a lot on the community to port many softwares from GTK/QtWidgets/etc to Qt5/QML;

- BlackBerry 10 : QNX, Qt 4.8/QML, Python (from the community), Android VM to run many thousands of Android softwares;

- Tizen 2.0 OS : Linux kernel, glibc, X11, EFL, HTML5, Python, etc;

- Firefox OS : Linux kernel, HTML5 only.
