Honestly, Jolla took their time to release the alpha SDK so they should have gone Qt5+Wayland at that time itself instead of doing so after releasing an alpha SDK. This type of abrupt changes after communicating something else is what fmg is probably alluding to about them not learning from their past history at Nokia.

I'm no dev so such changes don't matter to me but for others it may just be a case of why bother with a Company who doesn't know for sure what exactly it wants in its first device...
Yeah right, and then people would complain because "hey are not delivering they just talk". Btw. 2012 the Wayland and libhybris was not ready and Qt5 was just released november 2012 if I remember right.

And also for those who had made apps for Silica this is not and issue. except they had to sed -i "s/QtQuick 1.1/QtQuick 2.0/g"

And facts stand whatever they choosed people here would complain. So from now on a will shut up about this issue for me this discussion its just pointless. People who complain and are affraid X/Y app will not work should instead start contribute to Mer/Nemo ASAP.

By this post I don't want to offend anyone. Just saying we see stuff in different way and I personally think its good decission in most perspectives especially in bussiness perspective if they want to release more embedded products in the future...
