I've been using Ionic for about a month now. For the most part, it's a great tool to get something off the ground. I'm not positive if it'll hold up to our expectations of a native app yet, but I'm optimistic. I have had a few issues as well though. Most of it has to do with understanding the intended app structure. The documentation is getting better though. For example, getting ion-side-menu to work was difficult for some reason. Looking at the documentation now, it shows that the directive is a child of ion-side-menus and a sibling of ion-side-menu-content. I'm not sure if that was always there, but I didn't notice it until now. The framework has been going through some change as well, so some of the examples out there are already outdated. Regardless, I think Max and the guys at Drifty are doing great. And it's exciting to see a Madison getting mentioned in the development community. Nice work guys. Edit: Ionic, not Angular

I've also been using Ionic for a little over a month. So far, it's been an excellent framework for quickly getting up and running. I really haven't had many hiccups and in the rare case I do, the documentation is very helpful (and well designed). In regards to the CSS, I find myself customizing more and more of it as time goes on. I think that's to be expected. The important thing is Ionic provides a solid foundation to build on. I'm thus able to focus on the design right away instead of getting stuck in the weeds.
