Forgot one other big issue that no one seems aware of: Appcelerator tracks your development with their tools. Titanium Developer transmits analytics data every time you create/import/edit/delete/compile/test/install/distribute a Titanium project on your system.

To see the specific calls, just download titanium_developer and grep for Titanium.Analytics.featureEvent. If you do use Titanium and want to disable this, you should build a new version of Developer after adding the following line to tiapp.xml:

  <analytics>false</analytics>

One last note: I don't make these points just to be mean-spirited. Appcelerator clearly has some talented programmers and great technology. But silent tracking isn't okay, and clearly someone at top needs to help them focus the talent they have.
