Pros
Pro Compiles to native platform code
A key difference is that Fuse uses JS exclusively for app logic while producing native code for everything else, including population and manipulation of the UI.
Pro Native performance
Pro OpenGL UI
With the option to use OpenGL based UI components, Fuse is the only of the three platforms that offer a reliable “write once, run everywhere” approach where designers can control responsive layout, look and feel down to points, pixels and percentages, keyframes and easing curves.
Pro Svelte Native
Used by Svelte framework for native development.
Pro Leverages knowledge in Angular
Angular is a very popular framework, and teams already developing angular will feel right at home with Nativescript + Angular
Pro Works great with vue.js
Cons
Con Little reuse of web knowledge
Fuse doesn't support Angular or React so there is little reuse of existing web tech knowledge. The team have said they are exploring Angular 2 and then maybe React though.
Con Nativescript + Angular apps for Android tend to have long startup times.
It's very difficult to have acceptable startup times with NS+Angular in Android. It's not uncommon to see apps taking 6 sec or more to start AFTER having been optimized with Webpack (mandatory!). The same app in iOS takes only 2-3 sec. Also, this seems to happen only with the NS+Angular flavour. People using plain NS (without Angular) don't seem to have the issue.
