I don't understand why people are hating so hard on the compatibility layer eh? Because you know making developers write applications for the N9 worked out for ****ing great didn't it.

Only people who really loved the device stayed with it, while it aged and hardware overtook it quite quickly. Maybe that's because it was a still born thank to Elop. But Jolla unlike Nokia can't afford to this wrong, if they don't gain enough momentum with their release its game over. So it's better for the device to have applications out of the door, rather than them being written from scratch and developers being scarce.

I appreciated the the work that developers put into the N9 I honestly did, cutetube was so much better than its Android Official equivalent. But at the same time, that's one applications that can easily be ported and the users can make a choice what they want to use. If Android applications run well and fast and integrate with no issues people really need to just stop the hate.
