Yep and by jailbraking you are excluding yourself from all the support from Apple when things go sour, possibly even get yourself banned from AppStore because of it. They also have been working steadily to make it more difficult.
Um... didn't I just mention API-restrictions in Jolla store? Didn't I just say it should be addressed in high priority?
Usually when persons output is ~100% negativity, doom and gloom, there is enough reason to call it bashing you know...
AFAIK there are certain things Jolla would not repair/use warranty if you changed in system, so it's same same. And i had jailbroken iphone for few months and was using app store with no issues, not an expert but I think you are not banned for jailbreaking, at least that what was few years ago.

Like common definition of intelligence - you cannot possibly be intelligent person unless you are extremely cynical and pessimistic because expressing things in positive light is just r*****ed and gullible. No exeptions (exept when comparing to others).
Ok, more seriously... having been in places where people have to be inspired and motivated to do things, I have found that best way to kill all interest is to resort to nitpicking, bashing and negativity. Even small issues tend to grow into serious problems in such atmosphere and environment. It's not constructive, no matter if things said are true or not. But of course it's just my naiive point of view.
Basically first is to explain why it is not good and second is to tell "you are wrong" with no explanation except pointing fingers and using overused "troll" thing

Cheer up, ZogG. Please note that the ranks of uncritical supporters who would let Jolla get away with murder are finally beginning to shrink. I believe this is a good thing: unlike JulmaHerra, I believe the unbridled arse-lickery unconditional support is much more damaging than constructive criticism.

They have to include them to be able to sell the device as a phone at all, but they did not bother giving them a grain of attention more than what was the absolute minimum to be able to say they are there. Presumably because they consider those things secondary, to be ultimately implemented by the licensing partners they are hoping to get. Licensing partners whose primary expertise is mobile communication.
As a user where I needed to assume a very tolerant attitude towards Jolla in the past (2013) with regard to missing basic functionality (groups, SMS character counter, copy&paste, SIP interface, no security interface ..)

Warning is there to remind that via developer mode you have access to things that can potentially brick or ruin your phone. So no, it's not the same.
Isn't your warranty in jeopardy if you change things that you are allowed to change(linux things) from start on Jolla?

Still, I don't think that your referring to well-meant criticism as "bashing" and "doom and gloom" is justified.

Perhaps. However, community doesn't own or run Jolla, so community will never be the one calling the shots in company.

And as of features and exact UI parts, I said my opinions, but I never talked too much about them, except few parts(like themes and other halfs that were main features and now gone and that it's now more and more looks like android). What I'm talking is about the politics, communication, promisses they give and not keep. The general and important things in their "growing" which I think as community — now is main source of applications and most money(preorders) — should be heard and opinion should be considered.
Simple example is that they want developers to develop and there was a lot of noise around it, but no paid apps, not all APIs, not much effort is there.
If you look in general, where is main effort of Jolla? Software would you say? OS? But they did not publish a lot of apps. They do have updates (btw once they said it would be monthly, than 3 months and now how many updates we have?), but they are slow and some of them still have really annoying bugs that are not fixed release after release. After few years we have 2.0 and how many things where changed, few UI changes and few features in how many years? If you take Nokia N9 that had only 3 updates the difference between each one had longer changelog(all libs updates and stuff that Jolla includes even was not included in those changelogs).
So where exactly they put their effort? Pasted a long time and we do not see any real progress.
Edit:
Btw just coz of this mist and silence most people do not pay attention, but a lot of top people from Jolla left and few great devs, which should already be an alarming, but you will never know as Jolla keeps everything under the shadows
