Thanks for the hints.
I've come to the conclusion that for me it's not yet time to make the
switch from N900 to Jollaas main device.
(The main blocking point is lack of calendar synchronization with
Outlook on a PC.)

So I will probably have enough time to learn QML...

But IMHO restricting GUI to QML only is a mistake.
Such a limitation of tools stops software frombeing ported, written
and/orpublished.
The unique selling point of Jolla / Sailfish OScould be thatit's as
versatile as a PC. But "QML only" reduces this very much to being
just another Smartphone platform.If the N900 had been QML only,
then I would have bought an Android device instead.
Of course I understand that the resources of Jolla are limited and
that priorities are somewhere else.

Regards,

Dietmar
