how do sensors work in FP2 ?
Better then on the nexus5?
And powerconsumption: better then android?

Yes it was announced 21 of March.

Also in the reply to that same tweet they said that they are working to get commercial parts of Sailfish to work on FP2.
I've asked them on twitter, but no response so far

Maps transfers fine, exchange does not.

IIRC, part of Alien Dalvik on SailfishOS is a kernel module - if we had the sources, we could build it for newer kernel versions or use something like DKMS, but as we only have the binary, we are limited to one kernel version.
On top of that, I've read somewhere (if I remember it right) that porting Alien Dalvik is comparable to porting SailfishOS itself, as they are many device-specific problems (like sensors), so that's another limitation of having it only in binary form, not just the kernel version limitation.

My bank's website works fine for me. Not as convenient as an app, sure, but good enough for occasional use. I can see why you would want the app if you use it all the time.
