Alan, I meant to put Java/Javascript not just Java as even though they are mututally exclusive they do bear a common heritage. I must admit I quite like Titanium but the problem I have with most new development systems and that includes Apple iOS is that the HUGE frameworks around them make the simple task of generating a few data entry screens with database a major undertaking in terms of effort and understanding of how these frameworks work.
OK, we have all been spoilt by VFP which I feel is STILL the easiest Data centric RAD to use bar none so where are the substitutes for our beloved product? I still believe that porting some version of VFP like syntax onto Android/iOS would have masses of developers using it - then again, maybe ease of use doesn't help the software houses that have a vested interest in making development difficult! Anyway, all I can say is that I have accomplished more in 2 days using B4A than I did with Titanium in 3 weeks - and it works, i.e job done, installed now move onto the next task. Current RAD development tools should be renamed VSAD (Very Slow Application Development) for many of the current platforms. I haven't got time or energy to plough through masses of documentation/framework design. I simply want to code solid reliable apps and get them out to the user/customer.

However you might not have to do your development in Java. For example, Titanium development is all done in JavaScript using an IDE which is a customised version of Eclipse. And as any fule kno, JavaScript != Java.
