PhoneGap vs NativeScript-Vue: What are the differences?

Developers describe PhoneGap as "Easilily create mobile apps using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript". PhoneGap is a web platform that exposes native mobile device apis and data to JavaScript. PhoneGap is a distribution of Apache Cordova. PhoneGap allows you to use standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript for cross-platform development, avoiding each mobile platforms' native development language. Applications execute within wrappers targeted to each platform, and rely on standards-compliant API bindings to access each device's sensors, data, and network status. On the other hand, NativeScript-Vue is detailed as "Truly native apps using Vue.js and NativeScript". It is a NativeScript plugin which allows you to use Vue.js to craft your mobile application. It aims to have a syntax that you are used to from Vue.js.

PhoneGap and NativeScript-Vue can be primarily classified as "Cross-Platform Mobile Development" tools.

Some of the features offered by PhoneGap are:

Android
Blackberry
iOS

On the other hand, NativeScript-Vue provides the following key features:

Easy to get started with, it is a single dependency that you can install through npm
Aims to have a syntax that you are used to from Vue.js
Rapid workflow

PhoneGap is an open source tool with 4.12K GitHub stars and 970 GitHub forks. Here's a link to PhoneGap's open source repository on GitHub.

I didn't find any plugins for it. So I've implemented it by myself and shared it on GitHub.
