You are right. It's good enough for many apps. I probably have several nodejs/electron/js desktop apps running and I have no complaints. It is the most cost effective way to target multiple platforms and the development experience is fantastic without having to get into .net win forms or xaml/wpf on Windows or the monstrosity that is Xcode/UI builder or God forbid Java or the worst Dev ecosystem that is android/eclipse. So let's be practical here. If I am doing a startup or a side projects I am definitely going with JavaScript on the client - I have more freedom on the server and will probably pick either elixir/Phoenix, rails or .net
