Thank you Ionic team! I have already built tons of business apps with Ionic 2 (beta) and really like how easy it is and how well it scales. I also really like your ionic-app-scripts which make things like AOT a breeze. I have developed native iOS since Apple introduced apps on the iPhone and I have created some very big macOS and also Android applications natively. I think there will always be use cases that you need to do natively. However for >90% of the apps I developed (and use) Ionic 2 is perfect and has saved me a lot of time. The beta phase has been a bit though to keep up with because of how many changes where introduced by Angular and the build infrastructure, however since RC1 or so Ionic 2 is really really nice. I came to the realization that native development is not feasible for many business contexts when I was tasked to build an application for iOS and Android simultaneously a few years ago. It was so much work and pain to keep both apps in sync that I have decided I never want to do this again. Luckily Ionic came to the rescue :-) You will still find platform specific problems, but so far it has been relatively easy to resolve them. Congrats!
