Ionic - Have used it for many years, and not using it has been one of the best things I've done.

It's a mess, it feels like hacks over hacks, it's unconsistent, and a husle to use. It does not perform that well. You can know if an app is made with it or not.

It's super easy to mess up dependencies, plugins are a pain, etc...

For me it's one of the worst frameworks I've tried.

How come you have used it for years if you hate it?

Good question, it was not my decision, I would never use it for personal projects. We had an app at work made with Ionic, so I had to use it for a couple years, until we re-wrote it using flutter.

Ahhh do you prefer using Flutter now? What do you think about using Flutter?

Yup, by a huge margin, I think it's the best framework I've tried so far, and almost don't have any bad things to say about it!!
