I would argue that it is their paranoia. I may have pointed it out 5x in my whole life but try counting the "too Android-like", "not unlike", bla bla bla moaning in any single random thread on TJC

The rest of your post is 100% true. I agree that SFOS 2.0 has lost some of the consistency of SFOS 1.0. No arguing against that. I would argue though that what it has lost in consistency it gained in usability so it is on the right path, even if not quite there yet.

I would also argue that things like memory management, global cut&paste and 200+ bugs and missing features reported on TJC are more important but Jolla seems more inclined to fiddle with the UI (OK, they seem to have fixed some OOM issues now, kudos to them).
