It's always useful to know what technologies other developers are choosing.

Of the above, only Titanium at times. Others are Enyo, jqMobi/appMobi, iui

Hybrid of Sencha Touch / PhoneGap actually. ST has been great for our two-person team.

I have a feeling Enyo is going to be a popular choice soon. I've been using Enyo exclusively since it came out. I've been using Prototype.js with Enyo both to port legacy code and because I like the style (even if popular consensus is not to mess with the prototype of native objects).

Phonegap and Titanium are different things from jQuery Mobile and Sencha Touch, which are slightly different form jQTouch.

Want to build a complex app that could run on iOS, Android and Windows Mobile with no(t much) fuss? Don't like writing HTML or CSS by hand but enjoy writing JavaScript MVC stuff and fancy learning new stuff? Go with Sencha.

Want to build a nice mobile interface for a website but you need your very own markup and CSS and you'd also like to apply your jQuery king-funess to the project? jQuery Mobile is the thing you need.

Want that "site" to be a native app that talks with your web services and uses accelerometer, gps and camera? Add Phonegap.

How is Titanium a "HTML5 framework"?

If you were to learn one of these frameworks for the purpose of mobile app development, is it best to just learn the framework or also learn the underlying language (e.g. Javascript for jQuery)?

edit: assuming no previous web programming experience
