I've been doing a lot of sproutcore development in last six months, and I can say it's a really powerful platform. The docs aren't great, but once you get you're head around it it's very productive.
For me, it feels like the biggest paradigm shift since Rails. Rails made it easy write dynamic ajax-based websites, but they were still websites. With SproutCore, you're truly writing web applications, which run entirely in the browser and only go to the server for data. This means desktop-level responsiveness.
Congratulations for the dev team on the release, and I look forward to the exciting stuff to come in 1.1!
