It seems rather unfair to compare an OS that's currently being sold on and for new devices to a community effort that got rid of the proprietary parts (because you can't develop those any further) of an OS for which development stopped seven years ago. Obviously, ajalkane was not talking about the latter, but about Maemo when it was still being developed by Nokia, before the community took over and made it better. If you want to compare Maemo 7 to anything, it should be Nemo Mobile. Hey, it doesn't have any proprietary parts!
