  It's not just Cordova in a different suit. There are a lot of similarities, but there are some pretty big differences. For example, Capacitor has first-class support for Progressive Web Apps and can be used as a library you link with that comes with an abstracted set of APIs for accessing native/device features on iOS/Android/Desktop/Web with the same codebase. There are a ton of small decisions that all add up to a pretty dramatically different experience and our Web Native moniker represents our focus on building an app that is native to the web and then running it on all the platforms you care about with full access to the native features you need on each platform. And don't just take my word for it, the feedback from actual users is that the experience is dramatically better than Cordova. For example, see the 2020 State of JS survey results: https://2020.stateofjs.com/en-us/technologies/mobile-desktop/ https://2020.stateofjs.com/en-us/technologies/mobile-desktop... Also on the Enterprise tab, the other way to look at this is we have a sustainable revenue and funding model for the project that is aligned with actual users of the project (as opposed to this being an internal project we just happened to OSS for goodwill/hiring benefits). I'm really proud of that and consider it a huge advantage of the project.
