Yeah, it's too bad. I know a guy on the development team, and I think they're doing a great job given the complexity of the task they've taken on, but I can't recommend it for anything other than prototypes or very simple applications.
Based on what little I've seen, this sounds accurate. Both Android and iOS have a large amount of features and controls that developers are used to having access to - distilling that down into a simple codebase can't be easy.
It will be interesting to see if any early adopters continue to support Appcelerator; I'd love to see what their product looks like in a year or two. At the moment, my work is a little too complicated and urgent to want to rewrite anything for an immature codebase.
