As a former colleague used to say, opinions are like bumholes. Everybody has one. I agree with most of that article except for this bit:

There was a lot of hope for well designed multitasking in SailfishOS, but with 2.0 release they are moving away from it, so It will never get finished. Thus Meh.
SFOS 2.0 is nothing but a glorified UI change. There are no major changes under the bonet, like e.g. 1.0.7 was with the Qt update. And the only UI change that has anything to do with multitasking is the ability to have more than 9 app covers on the home screen. So, in this regards, 2.0 is getting closer to proper multitasking, not "moving away from it". IOW, I have no idea what you are talking about.

To be honest, I was expecting more from 2.0. Not a different desktop, but a real change. For example, a complete refactoring with the primary focus on resource usage. For example I was expecting OOM disappearing completely or at least getting less frequent, not more.
