"If you want to create an Ionic/Cordova app, use the --cordova option."

[janpio]

Docs at https://ionicframework.com/docs/cli/start/ and ionic help start say:

f you want to create an Ionic/Cordova app, use the --cordova option.

What does that mean?
Not using the parameter creates the same project, doesn't it?

Using --cordova will install the @ionic/cli-plugin-cordova right away. In the next release of the CLI, it prompts the user if they'd like to integrate Cordova, which would imply --cordova.

I have more plans for this. Right now new apps get config.xml, resources, etc. even without the --cordova flag.
