Framework Needs

• Need attributes for basic logic (if this, show this)
• Need attribute for not adding something to the view hierarchy automatically
• Need to use JS in XML attributes - use case: use L() macro for TextField hintText property
• Wrap all controller code in a try/catch which outputs more useful information for debugging
• Titanium: try and type cast double to string for textField.value = [a JS Number], don't throw exception

Would be cool if...

• we could provide built in validators for text fields, like e-mail addresses and whatnot
• we could provide a new device query for screen density, or some nice way of using one set of images across all platforms.

Tools

• Would be cool is Studio could code complete $.[my thing that I added] in a controller
