As somebody who knows little about Ionic, I have to say I was kind of turned off by this piece, as it reads to me like an ad for a framework, a brief trashing of other frameworks, and a little at the beginning and end about the title. I don't think a good framework has to use articles like this to promote themselves.

Not to say that Ionic is not a good framework - obviously it has a strong following. Just that this strategy of self-promotion leaves a bad taste.

Not trying to bash. Rather, pointing out the ways the “hybrid” approach still remains important and differentiated. Many people do not realize the differences in how various cross platform projects work. Given how much FUD we get in our direction I feel the need to balance the record from time to time!
