Same thing happened in forums with Android and the G1. New OS, users who had no clue, endless deluge of complaints about "not enough apps, won't do this, won't do that, the iPhone does, no support, HTC sucks, T-Mobile sucks, I'm tossing it and gettin' (insert here) wasted my money. we're beta testers" etc. etc. It was kinda ugly. Trolls badly outnumbered reasonable users for quite a while.

But once Android got traction the apps came, the OS itself got updates and improved, the choice of phones increased, users got the hang of Android and the noise level has apparently gone down considerably. Took over a year before it got better, but it did.

Same thing will happen with Maemo/MeeGo. Qt 4.6 is out now so apps will come, the OS is getting updates and improving and with MeeGo there will be more than one phone available, users will get the hang of it and the noise level will go down.

Just have to have the patience to let it all work out.
