Still some small (I'm lucky, others are less) frustrating things but generally, I prefer it 1000 times than an Goopple thing, even with the bugs and (relative) youth issues.
EDIT: If I could surf, pic-mms, manage videos and take pics faster without crasshing, use gps fluently, I'd still prefer my N900!

phone, sms and also:
-photo/video (which sets focus too often and w/o discretion)
-mms with photos (didn't try video)
-music + bluetooth
-gps (with necron hack (supl.google)), tracking
-calendar
-calculator
-alarms
-encryption
-on/offline maps (pure maps+osm scout) + nav with speech
-terminal
-easy link with pc (ssh/sshfs) = easy backup (rsync)
-wifi/data
-browser (some sites don't work though)
-offline dictionary/translation
+ all what I don't remember ATM
I regret:
-few cli linux tools
-more closed than N900 = harder to fiddle/hack/program
-no raw pictures
-no arrows/ctrl keys to select/move into text
-some closed parts, no guarantee I am not spied
+ all what I don't remember ATM

Um. There's a lot available - even in the official repos - that doesn't show up in jolla store. And more in Openrepos.
Ever tried some 'pkcon' commands in the terminal / via ssh?
-more closed than N900 = harder to fiddle/hack/program
Unless you have specific examples, this is either highly subjective or simply not true.
-no raw pictures
Maybe Advanced Camera can? I'm not sure. Maybe not.
-no arrows/ctrl keys to select/move into text
Well, it doesn't have a physical keyboard obviously but virtual keyboard extensions for that exist, I'm using this.
Text selection is tricky though, no argument from me.
-some closed parts, no guarantee I am not spied
Isn't N900 partly closed too, if that's what you're comparing to?
Also, did you ever read the license, TOS & privacy policy for SFOS?
You might want to check out the SFOS articles in my signature.

Yes, pkcon/zypper through ssh.
FWIR, I was searching for expect, screen, some tools like that.
No other examples to my mind ATM but I had the impression that much more tools/apps were ported to N900. I might be wrong.

In SFOS, I have the impression there are less workaround for half-ignorants like me. Only the SDK which I'd love to use but seems very frightening to me, hyper complicated. Dunno where to begin with.

Love is blind
I never imagined I could be spied on my N900. Maybe because it was more like an UFO.I admit, I didn't read the license, TOS & privacy policy for SFOS, not fully, at least. Because Goopple also say the are protecting privacy.
I end up thinking there is always a rhetoric and few proofs, finally.
I prefer trusting a community or e.g. a guy/group having analysed the outgoing traffic.
I live with it but just can't swear to others it is a fully safe system.
Your articles are interesting, thanks. Placed in my next "to read".

FWIW I use qCommand for GUI access to scripts.
Alas, Advanced Camera is not working on the XA2.
Oh great. what extension are they?
I'm going to keep on answering your questions until you give up
