Not having worked with SproutCore, I honestly can't comment on whether it introduced more bugs. Working with anything async is always going to introduce some complexity; but given the poor DOM performance on low-end devices, deferring rendering is often a very helpful concept.

I'd be interested to hear what type of bugs were common in this scenario; my understanding of the runloop is that after the DOM update (at the end of each loop) the UI should reflect the application state.
