I believe Capacitor is the absolute life-saver of hybrid development. I've been using Cordova for quite a while and switched to Capacitor last year, and it made my life so much easier. Where Cordova tries to do anything and everything, for all platforms, with its super flaky plugins and buggy config.xml, Capacitor is really focused on doing one thing well: being the shell between your code and native hardware. One of the major points is the code it generates for iOS and Android can be committed to GIT and is yours; you have full control over the native part of your app and could extend it in any way shape or form.

I have an app running in production now for almost a year and am so so glad I've chosen Ionic 4 and Capacitor. Kudos to the team.
