So I was reading this, and the only things that kept repeating in my mind were "Ionic, Crosswalk, Webworkers, Ionic, Crosswalk, Webworkers..." (Yes I know Crosswalk is Android only, but it works wonders).

Exactly, I absolutely love Ionic and it's the fix for most of the issues raised in the article.

The article makes some good points, but I wish he'd asked someone else to proofread and correct it... it has way too many mistakes (I understand English is not the author's mother tongue, but it's not mine either).

For me, the more glaring problem is that the article simply makes statements, with no argumentation to back them up. There are no examples, no data to support his claims, no follow-through on any of his categorical declarations. The only useful information I got from it is that the author is frustrated with Cordova.

I dont know from Cordova but a former employer bet the far on Solr without evaluating in any way. When I tried a search for solr sucks I got 600,000 hits. No one ever answered my questions on stackoverflow.

Solr and Cordova are on different realms, I don't see how that's relevant in this discussion. FWIW I've used Solr a lot and it's great for faceting and geometric search.

I searched for solr sucks and got 20k hits.

Not here to defend solr specifically, but every tool has trade offs. Solr is popular and there is a lot of documentation, so it is not a bad choice for a document search database. Now, picking solr without understanding a document database and its tradeoffs is a problem, but not solrs.
