Hi,
I can't judge the implementation or performance. I'll take
people's word on that, though I don't think it's the most
important thing.
On mobile, performance is one of the most important things both in terms of perceived performance from the user (i.e. does this app "feel" fast and react to my interaction appropriately) and actual performance (i.e. draining the battery). That will be more important than having a fancy menu or a date picker any day.
The default style will be overridden with our own, no matter what
framework we'll be using. So style is irrelevant here really. I
agree that people should stop using the Bootstrap style
everywhere, it looks lame (but the same can be said for Topcoat
once it gets adopted more).
I've downloaded Topcoat and had a look inside. I don't see any
components, just a few simple element stylings.
What components do we (AeroGear) "need" that we can't just use a little plugin for or roll our own? I feel like a base of some nicely styled native components is perfect, not to mention much leaner.
If that all
Topcoat is, it probably makes more sense to do all the CSS custom,
as it will be almost as much work as retheming everything and
there's not really a point having a CSS framework at all then.
This makes no sense to me. Topcoat has a complete, and easy to use theming system based on Stylus and built with Grunt. You change a few variables for colors, font sizes, etc., then add some of your own custom styles on top to make it your own.
We
can grab our missing components from Bootstrap (or something
else), and make some components from scratch where the Bootstrap
components are suboptimal.
So the style elements being equal, I think Bootstrap would give us
a head start due to a better selection of components that we need.
So I want to vouch for that one.
I think a selection of components is one of the least important items on the list in terms of what AeroGear needs as a project.
