I've found this to be starting from a similar position:

I still hate xcode, but at least I can get it to do what I want.

Two frameworks that work well for different areas of iphone app
programming:
PhoneGap - Bridge between web stuff and objective-c which can control
hardware or interact with the O/S better
Also handles packaging a web app for distribution

Sencha Touch - Web interface toolkit for writing iphone apps. Can be
very scripty; No HTML involved at all really.
It's MVC, too, which is good.

It's also free.
