We've been building up on Sencha Touch 2 since the first PR. It was hard to convince devs on team to make this choice. It takes some time to get into Sencha way, being familiar with ExtJS helps. Some benefits -
* a faster development process once you're clear on the concepts
* along with conventions, a lot of configuration is possible
* the new class system makes it easy to build custom UI components and write maintainable code
* the new class system combined with jsbuilder/sdk tools helps you produce minimal js.
* many well done examples
* ComponentView and DataViews are kickass. saves many lines of code that you might have written for updating views otherwise
* many types of eventful data stores, and they talk REST out of the box!
* great performance on iOS in general
* our customers needed a lot of theming - we build our theming system on top of sencha's sass work. rolling out new looks = 10 lines of change for us :)
* free :)

Thanks for the links. Found the Qura page really helpful in communicating ideas across.

Thanks we were completely confused going by our own tastes. Finally, we found http://usertesting.com/ to be very helpful here.
Ask HN: What are some good real user survey tools?
I'm looking for a survey tool that allows me to post questions (visual and text) to a large real human audience. I can think of Amazon mechanical turk, but are there some services specially oriented towards getting UI feedbacks? Where upon paying a service charge, they get my survey across 100 real people and produce a report?Thanks in advance.

Thanks! We found 2 to be a bit cluttered overall because it's text heavy. Keeping 2 till fold sounds great.

Yup one of the reasons we switched once our team became bigger. Another problem with skype is that if user's are on multiple versions of skype, the text chat gets disabled.
Hangouts on the other hand is quick to start with, free and chat, screen sharing, scribble pad work seamlessly across all platforms.

Ask HN: Help us decide a landing page.
Hi,We've been building a mobile-web based product for restaurants past 2 months. But we've found ourselves quarreling over design of our landing page. Not everyone on team has a taste for good design. So, we're stuck debating over this.1. http://imgur.com/uyDdu2. http://imgur.com/OPm3K3. http://imgur.com/J771hI personally have dabbled a lot trying to be a good designer once. I love the work...

Have you tried Google hangouts? We've been pretty happy with its screen-share (Hangouts with extras).
Also we use redmine as a wiki+issue tracker with git integration. An almost github like setup :)
