Problems plaguing Sailfish OS for too long

You mean wonderful rant with a lengthy description of known problems demanding to fix asap?
I am sorry to be so blunt again and I feel for anyone being frustrated by the many bugs, papercuts and issues that there are. At times they make it hard for me not to start shouting and test out the aerodynamic properties of my phone.

But why does nearly everyone

  • consider their issues the most pressing?
  • think themselves in a position to make demands and set priorities for what should be fixed ‘ASAP’?
  • not distinct between a technical issue/bug report and a letter of complaint?
  • not rather think about what might actually help developers fixing stuff instead of just accusing them?
  • not try to understand (technical, circumstantial) reasons for shortcomings or at least ask for them?
  • not accept that certain things take time to develop, even if it seems a trivial thing to end users?

Justin, don’t get me wrong. But you’re reiterating well known issues. It won’t speed up work on them nor help anyone, including you, deal with them any better.

  • Browser: In the works, reasons for stalling development were discussed at length
  • Phonecall UI: There’s even a topic of it’s own, with Jolla’s UX study made available. Extensively documented, making their rationale clear. Even with open discussion how to improve things
  • Mail client UX situation: Has been explained, too. Although not very discoverable. Consequence of the works on the Browser engine (Gecko)

Also: Why did you not use the Bug category for reporting the issues with e.g. ambience sounds? Then you’ve got a few interesting feature requests / ideas. But they’re lost somewhere in your post
