@udon @charliebrownau Electron is a product of soydevs on mobile who wanted to spread their estrogen on desktop too.
Just look at React Native for example, a JS framework for mobile.
Then there's the regular React for the web, and you only need to wrap it around in Electron, and you can use it for desktop as well.

And Electron, GTK 3, and current year Qt is exactly the reason that made me love TUI apps more.
