I’ve seen it mentioned a few times in the forums that Ionic isn’t meant for web, but really for hybrid. I haven’t really seen any reasons given as to why. We’ve had no problems using Ionic for web. For us it came down to what features we needed and what platforms we needed to target.

When deploying just for the web forget about any plugins. This is the big limitation. Otherwise when you create your app make sure to specify no-cordova when you execute the start command:

[–no-cordova|-w] … Create a basic structure without Cordova requirements

You will probably also want to modify the gulp file to minify/combine your web artifacts for deployment. Pretty simply todo with a few different gulp modules (gulp-minify-\*, gulp-usemin, etc)

If your just working with Web just look into bootstrap, it’s simple and is pretty functional out of the box.

I agree bootstrap is a great option. For organizations that are trying to standardize on a framework for both web and hybrid delivery Ionic is working out to be a great choice. Like anything else you have to weigh the limitations of each deployment type you wish/need to support.

We don’t support FF so I can’t really help you there. We only have to support webkit based browsers

On mobile it’s meh but it’s fantastic on browsers. It’s made by Twitter.
