Yes, they are using it because they are familiar with the web platform and want to go a step further. But that doesn't mean that all other ways to build programs for desktop use suck and we can only use a webkit engine. With stuff like electron, the result is bloated as hell and looks totally foreign. EDIT: Just think of the major performance problems these electron based editors had and still have. Our compurters have become faster, so we just write more bloated and slower software?
