I guess you never bother to actually program on it.

Tizen already went through these reboots:

1 - Replaced Meego SDK with Bada OS SDK

2 - Replaced Bada OS SDK with EFL + C++ SDK

3 - Dropped C++ SDK and replaced a new pure C API alongside EFL

4 - Currently adopting .NET Core + Xamarin.Forms

Then there is the whole issue of code quality.

I never understood why Samsung didn't stick with Qt for Tizen. Was it because it was owned by Nokia back then?

Everything they've tried to do on the UI layer is something I wouldn't touch with an eleven-foot pole.

I have, it has is quirks.

With that said, use their smartwatches. The UI is so much better than the competition it's not even funny.

And then you have Samsung pay card emulation magic....

Samsung also has a webkit-Javascript based SDK as well. It's actually pretty good as it exposes a lot of OS functionality in the JavaScript API. It might be the best option right now.
