What does Ionic provide exactly? What is the difference between this and just using AngularJS + Cordova?

Ionic just provides a bunch of really useful components (angular directives) that's already hooked up and ready to use. This not only saves time developing, but testing as well. Also, comparing the Ionic components to jQuery mobile is not really fair. jQuery mobile is quite horrid in my opinion..

When I said jquery mobile, I was more talking about the concept of pages which it has. I agree with you though.

Think of it as bootsrap and a bit of jquery mobile, for cordova.
