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.
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.
