Is Media Explorer following MeeGo to the graveyard?

Media Explorer is a media center originally target for MeeGo, but also is the first real native GNOME 3 multimedia box powered by Clutter and Mx. It started as an internal project inside the Intel’s Open Source Technology Center and released open in April 21, 2011.

This App will blow your mind with its slick design and the smooth transitions and is basically a show off, a real demonstration of what Clutter Toolkit is capable to do.

Although Media Explorer (mex) is not well known inside the GNOME community -and there is a reason for it- many people, including me, were really excited with the release announcement about a year ago.
