Drawbacks of using Appcelerator Titanium (or equivalent)?

Our company has a huge impetus for the development of cross-platform (iOS and Android). Appcelerator Titanium is being considered (and, it seems, the only thing being considered) to achieve cross-platform development without additional development time.

Everyone can think about the reasons for using Titanium. For reasons related to using Titanium, I assume that the performance of the resulting native application from Titanium may not be as good as the application written in Objective-C for iOS. How significant is the difference? Are there other reasons not to use titanium (or equivalent)?

Note: I can write Titanium, but the reasons may not only be titans. All arguments in support of coding in the platform language (for example, Objective-C, Java) are qualified.

Good:

  • Can create iPhone apps using very simple Javascript.

Poorly:

  • Apple rejected some Titanium applications due to private API calls, but Appcelerator did not respond to requests for help and did not update their SDK. http://developer.appcelerator.com/question/123785/app-has-bee-rejected-by-non-public-api

We are long and hard at the best option for a cross-platform developer and ultimately using Mono - Touch and Droid. It was great that we really use 80% of the code between the iPhone and Android, and we are just starting the WP port, which is going well (again, the share of 80% of the code). Of course, this is not a miracle to fix - you still need to know how to develop for each platform. I even loved C # much more like Obj-C :-)

Obviously, some will not agree.
