Sencha Touch is basically dead, no updates in a while. It was merged with EXT JS, which is a much bigger framework covering multiple platforms. It's very corporate.
The other similar Open Source tool, iUI, is also basically dead.
I think things have moved on a lot, and the primary market for native-like mobile webapps is a big private corporate-friendly ecosystem, as that's where such apps are typically developed. It's not really for regular website development.
The approach for 99% of people would just be to use standard web tech that has good mobile optimisations, which is what we are and will be doing. We don't need things to look native and it's unlikely people will want to make native-like app UIs in Composr, they'd do them separately and integrate them with Composr.
