I downloaded the beta and tried it out. The concept is interesting, but the execution is still uneven (understandably so, considering that this is a beta). The way that the mobile app UI is rendered on the desktop is pretty bad, especially the lack of antialiasing on the fonts.

It has that uncanny valley feel that you'd expect when somebody reimplements a UI toolkit and tries to mimic the look and feel. I'd really like to know if it looks better and more native on a device.

There are also bits and pieces that don't seem to work as expected. Like, I'm having trouble getting the built in HTTP client to actually successfully complete a request.

The design tool is slick though, so I'm looking forward to seeing where they take it. It could be pretty compelling for rapid prototyping.
