Cordova is time tested and has a large community behind it. I choose Capacitor if it's available and then go to Cordova if it's not. Ionic has a collection of easy to use Cordova plugins (https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/overview https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/overview). I have honestly found they they are not that well maintained. I ran into enough issues that I avoid them if I can. To be fair, the contributors are people contributing on their own free time with no financial incentive. Hence, I choose Capacitor when I can. They have a financial incentive (Ionic is open about this https://ionicframework.com/blog/ionic-2019-business-update/ https://ionicframework.com/blog/ionic-2019-business-update/) I joined when Capacitor was in beta and figured I'd use the up and coming. From research, it appeared there was a good reason Ionic created their own product. They didn't do it to simply stop using a tried and true product. Also to be clear, Cordova is not an Ionic product. It was a great community thing for a while to talk to native devices.
