Absolutely! Yeah, I also haven't been following this very closely, as I've been more-or-less interested in the Maemo-Meego-Mer world. And I've become a huge fan of Qt as well, so I really should investigate it a bit.

On the other hand, what little I do know about it makes it look very much like Android. Which isn't bad; I was planning on using Sailfish pretty much as just a launcher for my favorite Linux apps, and I suspect I could do that with Plasma as well. I'm just kinda not interested in all the extra gunk that comes with a beautiful full-featured mobile GUI. I just want to run my favorite apps, and otherwise have the UI get the heck out of my way...
