It's funny how in open source #WordPress world, removing Jetpack from the mobile WordPress app was widely seen as a positive move.
But in the dot-com blogging world, it's often viewed with skepticism and perhaps as a precursor to Automattic squeezing more revenue out of Jetpack.
Not saying either view is more correct, but it's interesting to see what different users include in their idea of what "WordPress" is.

Love the idea of a stripped own, content focused app for WP - as a WP builder I'm always sucked into "management" tasks when I should be focusing on creating great content - it's the same reason my plugins and themes are set to auto-update on my personal blog to prevent me from ... me
I mostly feel the same way. The only difference is that I really don't like typing on my phone, so in that sense I guess I'm not the target audience for a WordPress mobile app.
Same. But I have some clients with only iPads and some who love their phones who ask about an app for content creation. Whether they actually DO IT (create content) is another issue!
@jonathanbossenger I think you're right. The only non-tech people I know using WordPress typically use it for their blog, journal, photography, recipes, etc.
The idea that this thing called Jetpack is "something else" is probably not part of the equation.
