Surprised no one has mentioned http://www.appgyver.com/supersonic/ http://www.appgyver.com/supersonic/ It's basically Ionic with at least SOME of the native speed gripes other comments are complaining about. I agree that it's not going to meet native but in most cases it's _good enough_ and you are getting both platforms for free. If you can build for both platforms and don't mind learning native stuff then more power to you, but Ionic definitely has it's place. Until I see React Canvas reaching the maturity of Ionic, it'll have its place. I also hope Ionic works on mobile browsers as long as possible, because not many other mobile web frameworks match it.

The problem with such a framework is that the native part is completely blackboxed. I would never consider to adopt an hybrid framework that does not provide access to code because of the concern that some corner cases, which I cannot anticipate, could not be covered properly. I wrote a board game application in which I mix 2d graphics with native UI views. In the end I chose C++ for the business logic + 2d part ( with cocos2d-x) and Java or Objective-c for the GUI part. While It has been sometimes awkward ( especially on Android ) I feel to have done the right choice at the time I started. I have been able to reause a lot of code and the tools and languages I have chosen are fully supported. If I had to start again today I probably would consider Xamarin ( at the time it was too much expensive ) or something like RemObjects Silver.
