By the way, have a look at
this work item ("Make the default theme responsive"). What do you think about it? Should it be done out of the box? If yes, should we maintain both mobile versions (a new responsive and the current jQuery mobile)? Or drop should we drop the current jQuery mobile support in order to keep the solution more simple (no code duplicates) and have only responsive one?
jQuery Mobile or Responsive theme is not a replacement of each other. Both of them has got their place. I would prefer to make default theme responsive, but at the same time maintain jQuery mobile version due to following reason:
- It generates optimized code, which is better and lesser for mobile sites, enables quick loading on slower mobile connection
- Optimized for touch using UI similar to native app
- Gives more freedom to someone looking to create special mobile site, especially sites specifically targeted to mobile / tabs
- Someone building mobile app for his nopCommerce site can use jQuery UI to build the app quickly
However, I would like other opinions of other community members on this as well. And more importantly the one who are using jQuery mobile themes extensively!
