It may be marginally rude to the developer that believes in his work, but it's the right thing to do for the end developer about to use a technology that is deprecated (on mobile, not on desktop). It's better to warn him early than let him burn later (when his app won't work on an upcoming device, or will work badly). > niche solution, do you?

It's perfectly standard practice to steer people away from technology that is considered obsolete. Think gnome-vfs => gvfs, Qt3 => Qt4, Gtk2 => Gtk3. This is not "my opinion" by any stretch. It's the message that has been consistently coming out from Qt organization at Nokia since October 2010: http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/21/nokia-refines-development-stategy-adopts-html5-in-qt-and-ends-s/ (ok, that link doesn't outline the qml strategy but marks the time the decision was made). _______________________________________________ MeeGo-community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-community http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines
