Similar experience here using Meteor + Ionic, exported with Cordova. I also feel like the skills I'm developing in web development are much more widely applicable than learning a particular mobile OS.

I often hear this. I tend tp agree but what exactly do you mean? That Javascript is used more widely?

Exactly this. I guess for people who have built their careers building mobile apps they couldn't care less about more rounded skills(in relation to web at least), its mostly full stack/back-end devs who know JS seem to state this. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

You hit the nail on the head -- I am a full-stack/back-end dev. Always prepared to learn the next thing (provided it's in javascript, hah).
