I sure hope it will improve. The SDK is functional, but lacks the simulator we had for Harmattan. But there should be much more documentation, examples and guides. Currently only Silica is documented. The rest is limited to some pointers to Nemo and Mer (which aren't comprehensive as well, documentation wise), and to the Qt-documentation.
I'm writing an app for Jolla, but much of the time is spent on searching for documentation. And when (if!) I find it, it's more than once generic Linux stuff which may or may not be applicable or available on Jolla. I'm a developer by profession (totally different platform though), I have some Linux experience since I use it on my pc's at home, but still it's often frustrating trying to get something to work.

SailfishOS SDK have nice emulator. And documentation is good. Nemomobile components are not officially allowed to harbour, so no documentation in SailfishOS SDK, but it's widely available in internet with no problems. Qt documentation is also fully covered. I have never problems in finding docs for stuff, only had problems with searching good examples of 3rd party api usage.

The emulator is fast and fine, but limited. The simulator can simulate multitouch gestures, geolocation, battery levels, incoming calls, etc. And it is even faster.
The current documentation might be sufficient if you've already have Linux development experience, but without it, it really is a treasure hunt.
