title: PhoneGap or Apache Cordova?
body: <p>Recently I was researching for a good cross-platform framework and found <strong>PhoneGap</strong> and <strong>Apache Cordova</strong>. I got a little confuse, and I want to fill some holes.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>I know that PhoneGap is a distribution of Apache Cordova, like Ubuntu is a distribution of linux. 
  So is that means that PhoneGap has more features? What kind of features? Does it make PhoneGap better? Does PhoneGap can do stuffs Cordova can't?</p></li>
  <li><p>Which one has the bigger community?</p></li>
  <li><p>Performance.. I know they will never provide the same experience like a native app, but I just want to know if PhoneGap/Cordova can run a simple client application with some UI animations smoothly? And Which one performs better?</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>The worst part is that Microsot supports developing Apache Cordova applications on Visual Studio and there's no support for developing Phone Gap. Just made my decision harder.</p>
