Are there any plans to create separate CSS for iOS and Android so that the app looks more like a native application? A couple of other platforms I looked at, such as Ratchet (goratchet.com) and Onsen UI (onsenui.io) support this. Considering the momentum Ionic currently has among developers, I prefer to choose it for our next project. But, it would be a no-brainer for me if Ionic supported OS-specific styles.
Take a look at this blog post

From a marketing stand point, theres a benefit of creating a universal theme that spans across platforms. Look at how many apps in the app store (Google and iOS) keep a consistent theme and between platforms. This way, you can create a brand for your app that people will notice and will stand out from everything else
Thanks for the link. And, you make a valid point, especially regarding branding. We’re likely to choose Ionic for its primary advantages, namely its lightweightedness, performance, and integration with AngularJS. Do you have a ballpark figure for when Ionic will be released as 1.0 (or at least Beta)?
Cool. Nice to see they have a roadmap, and it’s at least within days and weeks instead of months. Thanks.
