i have no doubt. but i live and work in the present, and mer currently has nothing to offer me. sailfish 3 is supposed to come along this fall, but as far as i can see it is basically a linux distribution capable of running android applications, and if i wanted that i'd just use android.
No, you've got it wrong. Mer is open source project. The android engine is not part of Mer. I think you write/do too much, but think too little. Opposite is better. As an example if you live in the present, why would you use KDE :). IMO Mer is better than KDE.
