What is Ionic?

Ionic is an intuitive web-based all building platform. The platform allows users to build apps for iOS, Android, desktop, and web—all from a single codebase.

Ionic is a leader in the enterprise mobile app development space, with 5 million developers across the globe and thousands of enterprise customers who are using Ionic to build mission-critical apps for their users, both internal and external.

Ionic takes a web-first approach, leveraging CSS, HTML, and JavaScript to build high-quality Android, iOS, desktop and Progressive Web Apps.

Ionic also offers The Superapp SDK. The Superapp SDK allows large enterprises to consolidate existing applications and build new features within a single cohesive mobile experience.

The Superapp SDK, or Portals, is an easy way for web teams to add new features and screens to native apps in a safe, controlled way. EAch Portal is a focused experience that delivers specific features and functionality and is entirely self-contained. Teams can build, test, and ship these embedded micro experiences in parallel, allowing organizations to dramatically scale application development.

Pros
I love Angular and therefore love that Ionic uses the Angular platform. Ionic is very intuitive for an Angular developer.
I like the fundamental idea of a common javascript codebase for all our front end apps. I like Angular so it's a match made in heaven.
I like the Ionic CLI which makes all configurations quick and makes it very easy to troubleshoot application issues. Cross-platform UI option that works on the same device and supports Angular.
Cons
Also the setup process for a new team member once your app is large enough gets stupidly complicated.
Occasionally there is a problem with integration, but nothing that can't be solved, there are messages like "Scrolling problem" after deploying some features.
It's a handful to install and configure, both on Android and iOS. Did not make it easier with a beta release installed of Xcode.
