First of all, Cordova/App Store apps are still our main focus. However, we are incredibly excited about PWAs and will adjust based on where the market goes. This stuff is still new!
Second of all, we will continue to support building Ionic apps with Angular. In fact, you shouldn't really notice any difference, we've just turned a number of the Ionic components into web components. It'll be fairly seamless but performance on load and code size should improve by a fair margin.
Long term? It's hard to argue against web components being a superior deployment option for both our components and your apps, so if developer preference shifts in that direction we might push stencil/web components as the default. Time will tell
