It doesn't really affect my decision per se...

I personally develop using KDevelop on OpenSuse 10.3. The choice of 
IDE(Glade, QtDesigner, Eclipse, et cetera)is irrelevant to me; likewise, 
as KDE (using Qt) has been made to run on the n800, and gtk runs under 
maemo on the n800 no problem, the purchase has little effect on my 
decision; I really want just nice-looking, cross platform apps (thus my 
decision for Qt) in the least amount of time possible...thus my choice 
of the aforementioned three

I am really looking for ease of learning and time to proficiency.
