Re: Cordova roadmap - native UI

[Shazron]

Hi Nick,
Unfortunately including native UI is incongruent to our project philosophy
of creating "mobile apps with HTML, CSS & JS". We try to follow web
standards when possible and not resort to native ui unless we need to fix
some deficiencies that can't be avoided (statusbar for example).

Even if we wanted to (as plugins), we can't, because we don't have the
resources.

Thanks for your question! We are sticking to the current style for now. We 
need to have a discussion on our mailing list about starting to use es2015 
features/ which ones to use and get some consensus.

yup just started looking at the failed test :) While you're here and kind 
of related, I noticed most of the Cordova codebase avoids `() => arrow 
functions`. Is this just historical? I have used full `function () { }` when 
I've paid attention just to match code style, but is this necessary?

Hi! This line will need to be changed as it will not work with Node 4, 
which is still currently supported.
