I've built a very simple app in Cordova and I'm now re-building that same app in Swift and animation/transition-wise/UI I don't really feel too much of a difference. I am however having issues with some bluetooth iBeacons and local notifications in the Cordova one so that's why I'm going (and learning) full native. (Swift is great, I really like it.. well at least compared to Obj-C and coming from the JS world)
