Every project has such "uncertainty and FUD" phase in it`s development, it`s a common practice. No surprises.
Main thing is that team delivers upon time, as mentioned in roadmap.

Agreed. However not every team handles it in the way the nix team is doing. That's what bothering a lot of us.
It also isn't only fud. Just reporting bugs, or asking when feature / bug x will be fixed is enough to get banned.
But yeah, let's move on.
2.0.3 is out, and too bad has some really basic issues which should not have been there if it was tested. Small issues, but annoying issues that do not help getting this 'polished' feeling you would expect from a professional team.
1) Ubuntu LTS versions (16.04, 18.04) not supported by the released binary. Workaround: compile manually.
2) Mac installation gives an error when trying to upgrade from 2.0.2. Workaround: delete the 2.0.2 app before installing 2.0.3
3) There is still an open issue (#16) on GitHub which provides a fix for the daemon randomly crashing when executing RPC calls. This has not been patched yet in 2.0.3.
4) Block height counter jumps back to 0 while syncing.
Guessing this relates to your first point vtkix - lead dev put this in the discord #announcements a few hrs ago:

Everyone who was having issues with the linux binary, in specific: "`GLIBC_2.27' not found", this has been fixed by the latest binary upload nix_core_x86_64_linux_gnu_2_0_3, you can redownload the linux wallet if you had this problem
I think some people have unreasonably high expectations and need to realise that they only see 5% of what's goes on overall.
Some teams are extremely polite and have excellent PR but have no substance behind them, whereas this team will roll their sleeves up and get stuck in until they meet their goals.
I don't think it's fair to hold them to the same standard as top tier projects at this point since the project is so early on.
They've just successfully forked from PoW to PoS a couple of months after mainnet went live which is a MAJOR achievement, something other projects would have made a complete mess out of.
Give them a tiny bit of leeway while things settle down - the party hasn't even started yet.
