I couldn't agree more. I'm less disappointed with the lack of progress here than I am with the fact they consider the current version worthy of being labeled 1.0. That signals to me that they don't consider an outstanding UX to be a core feature of the product.

I'd argue one of the biggest reasons that UX is lacking is that they are trying to support ALL the platforms (including blackberries, windows).

If they focused 100% on iphone / android, I'm sure they could achieve a better UX and performance.

Just look at zepto.js thats 100% focused on mobile safari vs jquery.
