Anyone have worked with Cordova? What are the uses cases where I could envision using it (pros, cons)? As I understand it's used to package a Web App into a Mobile specific bundle for deployment?



I used it to repackage an asp mvc angular app onto mobile. Fairly poor experience, like problems with starting up the emulators, etc. You end up writing a lot of gulp scripts to do the conversion - all manual work. I had to convert from old style csproj app onto Cordova that uses project.json scheme - quite tedious if you ask me.


How was the performance? Was it close to Native for your users?


The app was fairly simple, we had glitches but they were related to angular and not Visual Studio specific


I've been using Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 for Phonegap and Ionic apps and working on files is noticeably slower than other project types such as asp.net mvc. I just end up using the cli to perform tasks but I'm hoping this update along with the git improvements make things better.
