Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with Ionic. The stack has improved considerably in recent years and actually Capacitor, our replacement for Cordova, was just rated the highest satisfaction mobile tool on the latest State of JS survey. Cordova was definitely a sore spot for Us but we’ve since moved beyond that and you can use any web stack to build apps with Capacitor (seeing a lot of React + Next.js apps of late)

Out of curiosity, what version of Ionic were you using?
Ionic 4+ is a complete rewrite from the ground up to use web components.
I use it in a non-traditional way, I do vanilla js + lit-html + web components and it works great.
Performance is smooth, mobile first approach makes responsive apps straightforward.
I don't do any of the native things or command line app creation or any of that.
I've been generally pleased with it.
tldr; If I HAD to do cross platform I'd use the following logic to choice one: If I have a team of react JS/TS devs: React Native else if I have a .net team: Xaramin else: Flutter
Then I'd apply for a job writing native apps in Swift/Kotlin and run away ;)
