Huh, any numbers for that statement:
I looked at quasar, on mobile it deploys to Cordova or capacitor. So the underlying tech is the exact same as Ionic: It renders your website in a webview container.
Performance should depend on the kind of website that you deploy.
Which means that it becomes a comparison between vue, react, etc.
This is independent of Ionic.
You mention :
Ionic does offer a set of web components that are styled to look native. They are compiled with Stencil and compliant with the html standard. Any difficulties here have nothing to do with Ionic, Html is just getting rather complex itself. And in any case, Quasar does the exact same thing : Offer a set of out-of-the-box components that you can use to design your app.
If you don’t want to rely on ion or quasar components, you can just come up with your own styles. The app is a website, you’re free to use any web technology that seems appropriate to you. Bootstrap for example is not compatible with the ion components, but if you just use ‘plain’ html, you can surely deploy it with Ionic.
If you care about maximum performance, you might want to look at stenciljs.
But the performance differences we are talking about here should be mostly a matter of marketing.
If you truly need performance that is not possible with Ionic, you need to think about native code, not another, mostly identical stack of web tech.
