I'll never understand why people get their knickers in such a twist over a delay in a Kickstarter campaign. Or even a failed Kickstarter. We're all adults here - do some rudimentary research and/or thinking before you back a project. Ya pays your money, ya takes your chances. Of course they're going to present a rosy picture in the campaign. Of course they're going to overestimate their capabilities and time-frames. It happens all the time, even with large, experienced companies. It's called optimism and marketing. Does anyone really believe that anything is ironclad when dealing with a shoestring startup?
Pine64 is late for some people. So what? Were you planning on building a life-altering product that will be obsolete if the Pine64 is delayed by a couple of months? If so, you had a stupid plan. Or are you frustrated that somebody else got their board first and therefore think it's OK to throw a tantrum? Does anyone think there's any malfeasance going on here? Or even disinterest or laziness on the developers' part?
C'mon people, get some perspective. Come down off the watchtower. You'll get your board. The OSes will improve. It's an experiment and an adventure. Enjoy the ride.
