Impressive visual design and extensive copywriting in the promo parts of the app. The idea is heavily tried and a very busy market i should say. Best of luck then to the dev(s)
The fact that you haven't been noticed yet doesn't make this an acceptable method. Basically the article is all about gaming the social networks and getting away with it in favor of publicity for your product or service. I don't think anyone can go very far with such dodgy methods
when everyone is trying to do the opposite (remove js from your html so that both are mean, see angularjs and similar), this one is extraordinary. I believe it has a fundamental flaw though. If someone is comfortable with this level of js, then she wouldn't bother probably having them inter-mixed. On the other hand for those who don't like a high doze js in their lives, this looks even scarier. So I think, it is not a niche but a deserting island market segment to aim for.
Still, who am i to judge, all the luck to the maintainers
Odd stuff are a part of Java in all levels.. But being a seasoned java guy, i can say that you don't need to bear the ugliness. You can just get the plethora of high quality libraries and all the good JVM performance and reject the weird AbstractSomethingFactoryLocatorFactoryBean shit...
Having developed for BB before, I cannot tell how bad their toolchain and libraries and HW/SW protocol layers are. I highly doubt that they can fix all these in one big fat major release. Considering the fact that RIM is bleeding, this may be their one and only chance though. Good luck RIM, it is always good to have more options in the market...

Why? They threw everything away and started from scratch, so the only way to not fix them is if they deliberately recreate the same problems. They didn't btw, bb10 development is way easier than ios and android (never touched windows phone so I can't comment there).
