Now, I could care less about that. But just about every review of UT from the first BQ phone to the 5 Pro has commented the same. Crap PR. Improvements of load times and paging between scopes are promised. I really hope so, and before the next generation of devices.
IIRC a major overhaul of animations and some UI elements (together perhaps with some rendering back end) is meant to occur soonish.

But yeah, the dev team is tiny, and a huge amount of their time is spent on getting everything working with the stuff added upstream in the full desktop distro.

Still, they're getting a lot done, and Canonical not devoting too many resources before they have a solid base is probably a good thing.

My main concern is with Scopes ... they've been harmful to the whole project, IMO. They should have pushed native app development and the SDK much harder.
