This is really confusing, even Sencha Touch developers team does not have a common opinion.
As far as I know, they design this merely for performance.
Aliasappears earlier thanxtype, they creatextypeconfig because if we don’t have to parse the string to get the xtype like before, it’s faster.Anyway, things like
xtype,ptype,ltypeor most common,aliasshould be unified and clarified in next releases, said the dev team.
