I don't believe I ever mentioned ionic v2... I don't doubt v2 brought many improvements. However you just can't beat the power of not operating in a Webview.

However, Webviews do give you a very predictable container to target. If you use something like Intel Crosswalk [1] as part of your project for Android, you can bundle a recent Chromium webview to much older devices. And Flexbox is very well suited to solve phone/phablet/tablet layout problems.

Because people seemed to love 80MB Chrome runtimes being bundled with terrible Electron applications on the desktop, Crosswalk allows you to bundle 40MB of chromium for your terrible application on Android.
