I write code as a job (have been doing that for longer than I wish to
remember). C and Ruby are my current tools. I know from multiple
personal attempts that C++ goes severely against my mental engrams. My
ability to pay my bills depends on how smoothly and effectively these
engrams operate. I cannot allow them to get disrupted.
My complaint is that it would be difficult for me to put my hands into
the default apps. They are C++, QT, and expectedly using enough of
those creepy C++-isms (possibly, even those yecchy templates or
whereabouts). I would be comfortable with tinkering with C>K main
apps. On the other hand, I would find C++&QT main apps closed boxes (I
perfectly know that I could very well write C/Ruby new code on the
OM).

I do not know how you received the idea that I was irritated. I am
only a bit disappointed (after waiting for this project to produce its
fruit for all these years), and I wanted to let Openmoko know that
they have lost at least one (early-adopting) client by operating the
switch to QT.
Later, if I find that the original OM core code works to satisfaction,
I may decide to buy the phone just the same.
