Why not use the open source Android? I just feel like it would be more mature.

And yes I like many others here have been trying Linux phones for 10+ years, since N900.

Your phone just has to work, it can't crash because you get a call, or hide buttons because the UI is confused by orientation. IT MUST WORK. So that's why I wonder why people don't just use Android.

It's like using Chromium or whatever clone-a-chrome is hip at the moment. That does absolutely nothing to disrupt the status quo and is very much at the whim of the upstream "owner" whether you want to see it or not.

Disrupting the status-quo is important, but having a working communication device is more important to me. If AOSP is further along towards a working phone then I don't see why we shouldn't focus development efforts on it.

It only benefits the open source market in the long run because a working device will garner wider adoption.
