Paid apps, better documentation, coolabration. Less PR and blog post but more actual actions?

I like the gestures. I like the pulley menus, the one hand - friendly operation. I like the ambience thing, the aesthetic of it.
I like that I can modify things I don't like just by looking around and playing with .qml files (e.g. I have brought back the refresh action on the browser cover). While we're at that, I like that I "rooted" the phone just by enabling developer mode in stock settings.
So there, some reasons for you. Now if you're going to try to refute them all one by one for no apparent reason, just know that I can do the same for your OS of choice
P.S. And about the whole open / closed source argument. Indeed one can argue that Sailfish is not all that more open than some Android flavor but are you really comparing Jolla to Google? The first is just a mobile OS company, the second is everything from a search engine to artificial intelligence and then some. It's just not wise to let a company that big control and know about every single aspect of your life, even if the only alternative is letting a lot of other smaller companies in. When Jolla become big and they still haven't open-sourced the code, then I can worry about them as well.

I think they need to hit some kind of critical mass and get the ball rolling and give developers a god damn incentive to actually develop.

In general I agree with you, but you need to consider that alternative means not something different, but something instead. And if whataspp, facebook is standard in mobile, it would not matter how it's right or wrong or if it should be like that, but that Jolla doesn't really provide that option.
That last part has yet to happen.
Mobile era is not something new and most standards, apps and functionality are already defined. I'm not saying that it can be changed, but I'm saying that it can't be ignored.
In the begining I wanted Jolla to succeed and I was in first wave, but they proved me wrong. And as I do not care if they succeed or not ....
So what would be the reason for Jolla except "it's not android or iOS" as it's not the argument.
"It's not Android or iOS"... that's AN argument. It just doesn't happen to be yours. Same as your argument against Jolla isn't mine.
"I marry you because you are not X or Y, as they are shitty people, that's why I choose you"

Speaking of native apps just realized I am also using my own apps for my Jolla 
Mymoney and sailserver. But I should fix the bugs in mymoney some day... And write a bitcoin client since no one else seems to do it...

Seems like that's already happening. Now... carry on.

I am not sure about the performance, since specwise it seems like a tad less powerful than the original Jolla.
Personally, I'd very happily trade some of it for more battery life. However, I'm not sure if the battery life is much different.
