I'm on iPhone 5 and they run "okay." If a 3 year old, 2 million dollar framework is already ruling out everything but the absolute newest devices, what do they expect devs to use it for? Pet projects pretty much seem like the only thing.

I can't imagine using this on something professional that targets a realistic target population.

While I am not a defender of famo.us, the jury is still out, I think that investing in a framework for the future, especially when the future comes so quickly in the mobile space is fine. No one supports four year old devices, not Android nor iOS, so no framework support is okay too. Frameworks need to have their head in the future, especially if they require significant investment to create.
