I would like to have the same apps and folders on my tablet as on my phone. Any way to achieve this besides manually isntalling each app? There should be a way to keep both devices on the same state... Thanks a lot!

and maybe an downloaded app-list. if we get an other hardware, we may install all again in one clic, then we may sync the both.

I guess this is not realistic, if only for the one reason that most apps are just not available on the tablet as there is not i386 version provided. Remember: the phone runs on ARM, while the tablet uses an intel processor.

... like Microsoft Accounts do? This does not work very well. As hubat mentions, it is limited by technically. Let me give an example: My old windows phone, a desktop pc and a laptop share one microsoft windows live account. Any app I install on one of them will be listed as "your applications". The list "your applications" is shown on every device. Cool. Most of them do not work on each other. Neither can I run phone apps on the desktop, nor will I. I simply don't need phone apps on the desktop and vice versa. And they will not work, as mentioned. Therefore, I have just a bloated list. Every time I open it, I wonder if the app was installed / bought for the phone, the desktop or the laptop? More then that, I use different apps for similar tasks on different devices. Because Nokia Here is pretty cool, I use it on the phone, but not on the desktop etc.

So, for my point of view, it makes no sense.

@hubat@Moo-Crumpus maybe you're right but it will be sad, if it's done in this way... normally the sense of the os is to provide an abstract layer which make for all hardware types no differences, like android with dalvik or art. the only i think that change between both should be the kernel for the drivers, and the "connectors" to it...
I think it is possible, otherwise the biggest problem for jolla and co would be to port it in different type of existing devices...

For my part i find interesting to have it if i have the same use between different devices, or if i want to change from devices (old to new), or if i want to install all after it happens a complete reset of it after repair. But should be only on demand (means if we click anywhere on a button to sync), ideally triggered from a webgui control button from own store account.
