like i've said recently [1], jquery mobile is 90% complete. unfortunately, the last 10% accounts for nearly all the polish required to make a web app feel awesome. personally, i think that's important for 1.0.
i'm sure jquery's focus is on compatibility (not unlike the values of jquery core). unfortunately, this puts experience in the back seat. i do have faith this stuff will be resolved in time. granted, i've been saying that for over a year.

I'm less disappointed with the lack of progress here than I am with the fact they consider the current version worthy of being labeled 1.0. That signals to me that they don't consider an outstanding UX to be a core feature of the product.
- dmix 15y agoI'd argue one of the biggest reasons that UX is lacking is that they are trying to support ALL the platforms (including blackberries, windows). If they focused 100% on iphone / android, I'm sure they could achieve a better UX and performance. Just look at zepto.js thats 100% focused on mobile safari vs jquery.
