> Anyone have experience using Sailfish OS?
Yes, I use SailfishOS as my daily driver. I should note that I'm a Linux user, and developer, so I am technical.
SailfishOS satisfies all my technical requirements. Admittedly there are things that I would like (e.g. containerising/jailing functionality), but I understand that Jolla has limited manpower.
It meets all my communication requirements, and developing for it is awesome (I don't use that word lightly).
> Any reason to think it wouldn't end up like Firefox OS?
I don't know about FirefoxOS, but SailfishOS, thanks in a large part to Nokia before it, has a strong community from the Maemo and Meego days. e.g. https://talk.maemo.org/ and https://together.jolla.com ; also checkout the IRC channels on Freenode.
The community is very smart and dedicated. I think with a fully opensource SailfishOS, it could continue to maintain the OS without corporate sponsorship (i.e. Jolla). To give credit to Jolla, they really help accelerate development of GNU/Linux on the mobile.
