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).
Indeed, way to many resources have gone into the UI changes that are 2 step forward one step back. Hopefully it will pay of in the big plan picture some how. I am more excited about Fairphone working with Sailfish OS than I am about the Sailfish 2.0 for the moment.

Considering peek feature one of the most beautiful showcase and useful parts of Sailfish it is strange that this hasn't been fixed yet in 2.0.0.10:

2.0.0.10 OOM behavior has clearly improved but also in that field things went from ok to worse to ok again.
If Jolla was to fix the big UI inconsistencies nodevel and other people are describing in a nicely detailed way things could get back on track towards implementing usability features and spoils we knew back on Maemo / Harmattan.
