IC. Thanks for the clarification, now I see where you are coming from. To clarify my stance, I was completely and consciously ignoring that bit because to the best of my knowledge, Sailfish comes from the same people as Harmattan. Not the same company, but the same people. So, as far as I am concerned, Sailfish is not a newcomer. It is Harmattan 2.0. Jolla does not have to implement all the bells and whistles anew, only remember how they were implemented the first time and do it again, in those few cases where for copyright reasons they cannot use an already existing code.

I am a software engineer in real life. Been for 25 years. And you can trust me when I tell you that it is much easier to reimplement the same functionality I implemented a long time ago for another employer (and therefore I cannot just reuse the code, and even if I could, it may not fit in the new project anyway without modification) than it is to implement something I have only heard about but never worked on myself. I see Jolla in exactly the same position.
