I think Nokia pretty much killed it with the Meego announcement. Back in January the momentum of Maemo development was building up and it was all exciting - even I (not that I am special - just specially lazy) made a few ports and packaged it for Maemo. But after the Meego announcement I just completely lost interest and I reckon that's what happened to a lot of other people. I was excited about Maemo because it finally appeared as if Nokia had decided to push this as their next big platform - and when Nokia left it hanging - well - there's nothing left. For me I'd rather just stick with Symbian until they get their act together.
