<pre wrap="">if you want to have the exact same user experience as the
preinstalled Maemo 5 applications have (as seen in all youtube
videos and the SDK), then you have much easier time and faster
development with the gtk-based hildon widgets in Maemo 5.

<pre wrap="">I would caution against too easily dismissing Hildon Pickers as
trivial "composites" that app developers can implement. [...] The
"combobox" in Linux desktops is pretty much a subset of the hildon
pickers (in terms of funtionality, not directly in terms of actual
UI elements). So if pickers would be trivial, then why would there
be a need to provide a combobox in the standard toolkit?

<pre wrap="">These things are easier in some toolkits and harder in some
others. To my knowledge, Gtk was not really designed for handheld
touch user interface with kinetic scroll etc. on mind in the first
place - it is a rather a desktop toolkit with the rather traditional
mindset - and some of hard core hacking obviously was required to
make it function like it functions on the Maemo 5.
