They may have underestimated the effort to create a phone from scratch without the necessary know-how, however this is the most promising "pure" Linux phone we have seen so far, they are also building a ecosystem around it which is not secondary in terms of importance. This may be the corner stone to get rid off for ever of any crappy Android-like OSes that exist just to spy on you...

I don't hate them, but they are quite frankly doing a bad job. They've been overpromising and underdelivering from the very start of the Librem 5 project. The marketing is dishonest ("shipping adjustments", this paper launch, etc.) and they have very little else to show. Apart from a few tinkerer nerds, most people that preordered actually expect a working phone. And they won't get it, at least not any time soon. This will unfortunately all get back to Purism and it will be hard for them to recover.
