Ionic has transitioned to relying on official tooling for frontend frameworks like Angular, React, and Vue, moving away from custom build processes to better align with community standards and reduce maintenance complexity. This shift allows Ionic developers to utilize standard tools, ensuring their skills remain relevant within the broader framework ecosystems and enabling immediate support for new framework updates. Despite this change, Ionic remains committed to integrating with major frameworks and contributing to best practices and educational resources. Additionally, Ionic's Stencil project, designed to generate web components, supports all frontend technologies without replacing existing frameworks, serving as an internal tool rather than a requirement for using Ionic. The overarching mission of Ionic is to be a versatile solution for building interactive apps across multiple platforms using web standards, supporting diverse user preferences while investing in the web platform for future growth.
