Looks like jQuery Mobile put the wind up them. I'd find it hard to justify investing time in the Sencha platform even if it is 'free' - the licence is still commercial and development is still closed, why take the risk when jQuery Mobile is evolving so rapidly anyway.

Its funny how I didn't mind paying 100$ but the closed development doesn't cut it for me. I had a small patch and there was no way to commit it. A Git repository seems to be a minimum requirement nowadays.

I agree... it doesn't make sense to move to Sencha if you're already familiar with jQuery
