I built an app a couple of years ago with Sencha Touch. The quick mobile build demo (and a few of the prebuilt widgets) sold me on trying it. About 2 weeks into the project, I was hating life. The forums seemed to be answered by one guy. (He was extremely brilliant, but probably VERY over-taxed). What's worse, since the critical mass of users were using other frameworks, getting help on places like Stack Overflow seemed impossible.
There is definite beauty in this framework. I liked the descriptive layouts. I liked setting up stores for all my data models. But in the end, I was stuck trying to figure out the "Sencha" way, and often having to just forget about it. (I'm not saying things couldn't be done, just that I couldn't find proper docs on HOW to get it done)
The product shipped. I was mildly pleased with the result. But once visual design tweak requests started rolling in.... I turned it over to someone else.
