IUI may not be perfect but it does what it intends too. There are a few open source addons to IUI that extends it functionality.
It seems pretty robust, and if your going to stick with javascript and/ or php you don't have much choice. Dashcode is pretty good , but does not offer all the functionality IUI does, there are a couple really good dashcode templates, I suggest the book Developing iphone hybrid applications available on Sams publishing Safari books online. If you want to move to a more robust backend like java you have a few more choices. Google web toolkit, there have been some applications developed with this, but I'm not sure performance is that good for a resource intensive application. Our choice was icefaces because we wanted an api that provided server push and allowed for easy creation of custom components. Our open source project www.mooncatventures.com combines dashcode developed code with the server push capablilites of icefaces. ie. all the nasty xmlhttprequest logic is replaced by higher level javascript code. So there are the choices, and the type of ranting in this thread is uncalled for, Hewett has created a very nice starting point.
