I spent some time (>18 months ago) testing PhoneGap for potential use with what would become http://recent.io/, but PhoneGap was too slow on actual devices to be usable. Launching a "Hello, world" app took something like 30 seconds on an iPhone 3GS. Maybe hardware speed increases have helped to fix that problem.
I haven't tested Ionic, though the Creator utility looks promising. Do you have any experience in how well Ionic interfaces with native APIs, like Twitter/Facebook on iOS and sharing on Android? And how do Ionic-built HTML apps perform in terms of speed?
