Well that was already the way before the company was formed so impossible to mend that. What can be done, is of course just what has been created; a better alternative to those.

Harmattan compability is just a few quick fixes and recompile. Shouls be nothing to make noise about.

4) Refusing to prioritize the shipping of early units to developers begging for them in order to test and release native apps. Strictly going on a first ordered first served basis resulted in early units being flogged off on e-bay and auction houses for insane prices.
Wot? There's the SDK with pretty neat emulator for the device. And it's possible to run the created applications on Sailfish/N9...

You are misquoting here now, shame on you
What was said that there's no possibility of setting up an external bug tracker, due to no resources in processing the reports and correlating that with internal bug tracker. And I do believe that's a real case.
The comment in "no time to read/dont send" was related to somebody's proposition that community would set up it's own tracker and hope that Jolla would read it and act on it. Of course there's no obligation for them to do anything like that, and cannot spare resources to it.
In reality they have stated that they WANT you to send bug reports to their service desk.

It's beta but not that buggy, no buggier than other OS'es when they first came out, somewhat lessbuggier than other are even now
