I’ve heard much about Crosswalk and am now also trying to integrate it with my projects. Been pushing for it quite a bit [here][1] and [here][2]. If Ionic would include it by default in the CLI or describe integration in the docs, I think it would cut down on support queries and issues on GitHub, which would in turn free up the dev team to do other things.
Only downside is I think Crosswalk support starts at Android 4.0.

Still! That would cut down supporting excentricities between Android from 2.3, 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.1, 4.2.3.5.1, 4.3 and the zillion other versions out there to just two: 4.4/Crosswalk and 2.3. A marked improvement!
