The Ionic Developer Survey of 2018, with input from over 10,000 community members, highlighted the ongoing importance of investing in web development skills, particularly through the use of popular JavaScript frameworks such as Angular, React, and Vue. Despite the historical preference for Angular, Ionic is expanding its support to include Vue and React, signaling a diversification in framework usage among developers. Cross-platform development is gaining traction, with a significant drop in the use of purely native tools and a rise in the creation of Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), which are becoming an important complement to native apps as part of a broader digital experience. The survey underscores the diminishing framework fatigue and the unifying trend of cross-platform tools in modern development practices.
