I took a look at RubyMotion and came away pretty disappointed. It seems like the target market is for people who already write apps in Objective-C, but want to write them in Ruby instead. The larger and more lucrative market is for people who want to write apps without touching Objective-C at all or knowing anything about it (i.e. using their existing knowledge of web technology to write apps). Compared to other abstraction frameworks on the market like Titanium, the RubyMotion code is way too verbose and obtuse, and is really only obvious to those who have already worked with Obj-C. On top of that, you don't get the autocompletion and hinting because people don't typically write Ruby in IDEs. I love the idea of using Ruby in this manner though, and hopefully people will begin to build frameworks on top of RubyMotion so I can use it with a single helper method call and a dictionary of options, like Titanium or a jQuery plugin.
