I tried several cross-platform tools and web toolkits. Appcelerator is too clunky, flaky and community support is virtually non-existent (this is not a blame, mind you, as their business model is built around paid support, and I totally understand the lack of answers on community forums). I'll take another look at them once they integrate with Aptana (IDE that they acquired).
jQuery mobile (boxed into PhoneGap or not) is dog slooow once your page sets or lists get too big, and like some mentioned, interaction just does not feel right sometimes.
One approach that I like is that of applitude (http://applitude.org/ http://applitude.org/). It is DSL for description of view-based applications that is translated source-to-source to Objective C (It is iPhone only). Unfortunately this project looks like one man effort and is not under active development. But I wonder if this is the approach that some cross-platform toolkits should take.
