Problems with ionic

• Webkit rendering (slower than native)
• Compiled project size (not app size)
• Ionic events management (too complicated)
• Ionic configurations (too many)
• Compatibility when deploying (doesn't work in all devices)

SugGestions

• Use custom gulp tasks
• Use hooks to clean an copy files to build
• Don't use /www folder for scripting
• Use ionic directives instead of plain html
• Follow angular best practices
• Try to keep as few plugins as possible
• Do not to override ionic style classes
