I'm interested in this report but it's going to get ripped since they only surveyed 2,733 out of 51k developers.

Appcelerator mainly makes a WebKit based WRT... Nokia already has one for Symbian, will have for MeeGo, I doubt the Appcelerator developers will be very interested in these platforms anyway.
EDIT: Yes, they seem to only asked developers which develop on their Titanium (WRT). It has been longest out for iPhone and Desktop PCs, not much surprised. As an added plus they don't have compatibility between the versions they've already put out (maybe their API's are not frozen yet) and the app installation is convoluted (every app brings its installer which contacts their site in search of specific binaries and then installs itself before installing the app, I've tested only 0.3 and 0.4 though, maybe it got better, but that was the reason I dropped trying to port it to Maemo 5).

Well, they kept asking questions like "best features" "most devices".
Meego is a shock as it is. For a platform with no devices, I expected it to be non-present.
Another no-brainer is the fact that developers seem to develop for platform that already have apps, since, you know, that means a good developer base, people to ask questions, examples available.
And one OS has a checkmark on all 3.

Well, Meego isn't out yet -- only crude alpha versions -- and the specs aren't even finished. So this comes as no surprise - indeed, even that 11% index seem very good considering that.
Does Symbian being used in other Nokia devices shows that Nokia is "not strongly behind Meego"?

"however 52% of developers who weren‟t interested in developing for Nokia said that its triple platform strategy (Symbian, Meego, and Maemo) was too muddled and risky right now."
This is the part that interested me the most. I think Nokia has to further push Qt!

Well that triple thing is coming to an end. Maemo is dead, so that's one. Also, Symbian has been cut from N series, meaning that it will slowly decline in complexity (relative). Hopefully, Nokia will end up with one OS (MeeGo), where app builders matter.
Symbian already has its developer and app base. Assuming this constant change and breaking old standards stops at some point, it could hold on.

Not worried about actual platform adoption & support, because if "if you build it (viable market), they (dev) will come".
But this may indicate a slower uptake that may delay/reduced initial batch of software than desired.... (if too many of them takes a "wait and see" attitude before deploying their resources for MeeGo).

Err.. considering the Meego marketshare is effectively 0 right now. I would see why.
I don't think apps will take off until the Meego+Symbian 3 combo has enough saturation across different devices.

On top of that Intel just ported Android to Intel hardware which indicates Intel is not strongly behind MeeGo.
