Well, high up, SailfishOS can run the stuff I run on my desktop: bash, vim, ssh, all the utilities I use to access long-term storage, etc. I'm able to use it more-or-less like my desktop machine, which is very very nice.

If I've gotta use an OS based on Android drivers, and I can't use the OS I'm used to on my desktop, I'll personally just use Android itself. I don't seem to have the kind of qualms other folks here have with it. You've gotta sell me on something Android doesn't have but that I want; avoiding the privacy-invading **** is good, but I don't think it's enough...
