...and I do all my development on the phone itself, mostly for the same reason (the other part is that having it on the phone frees me to do it in places like the loo, in the bath etc ). The only thing I use the PC for is the GUI design in Qt Designer.

Just imagine how many similar missed opportunities for Maemo/N900 there might have been!

Well, at least there's still a few of us diehard N900ers around, and I think the phone has a cult following with hacker types.

Yeah, this is (I think) the biggest reason why Nokia decided to support Qt after all -- it gave them a fighting chance to acquire and keep developers. Once you've learned how to do things the Qt way, you can immediately use that knowledge to write code for Unix, Windows, OS X, Maemo, Symbian, Harmattan, Sailfish, Android... Anything that has an appropriate Qt toolchain available. (Yeah, I've kind of become a believer myself. )

@nieldk, what toolchains in particular are you looking for? Qt seems to have a wider range of targets than any other cross-platform UI out there...
