Well I havent used appcelerator either. But I found your opinion very personal and subjective. I am not going to argue your points at this time.
You dont seem to be criticzicing appcelerator buth the logic behind its existence. So you dont agree neither with MS Silverlight, Mozilla Prism, Google GWT, and others. But those frameworks are here and its better to take advantage of them than to ignore them.
