I'm in doubt about which framework / language to use to start application development. From what I've read so far, I'm between using Ionic and Xamarin .
Everywhere I read the great advantage of Ionic is to be free, but now Xamarin is also free, so in that they are the same. Another issue that emphasizes a lot is that native app has better performance than html based app, but just as the Xamarin issue gets paid, it may have changed that nowadays. About interface vi that now parts of CSS3 are GPU-accelerated .
- Is the overall performance of native apps still better?
- Is the native apps interface still perceptibly more responsive?
- Is the performance of any of these types of apps more influenced by the size or complexity of the project?
