True. However, my personal experience is that everybody I’ve met in meatspace using Sailfish has some kind of developer/Linux power user experience, so I am a bit biased…
I think we all are, but we are all unsure about what’s the best way. 
Unfortunately, these wishes are contradicting 
Would it save considerable resources (which are then free for e.g., the browser) to
- drop maintaining ABI compatibility at all costs (which is my impression currently), so that old, unmaintained apps die after some time, but apps where the dev is still active are just recompiled by the dev; while
- continue to enforce stable APIs in Harbour (the amount of stability could still be discussed)
