And what the problems were with gnome? In 2009, the N900 was based on GTK and was a solid base to build on.
- zxspectrum1982 4y agoGnome and Gtk+ were not fit for phones: not prepared for small screen sizes, lack of adequate widgets, slow, difficult to develop for (types in Gtk+ were and still are a joke), etc. And first and foremost there was the attitude of those Gnome developers: entitled, reinventing the wheel all the time, arguing stupid arguments on purity... To this day, Gnome and Gtk+ are not fit or mobile (or Windows or Mac) yet.
- panick21_ 4y agoThat sounds a bit like a Gtk+ vs QT mud throwing contest. The N900 had pretty good reviews and 2 more years of work could likely have made it even better. And Nokia had the developers and control to do what they wanted however arogant Gnome developers were. I have developed for neither, so I can't really say. That said, I have been using Gnome based desktop for 10 years now, so I'm bias towards it.
