Sure, this will never be a 100% alternative to electron. People who derive pleasure from writing HTML, Javascript, and CSS whenever possible will never stray from that kind of framework. As you say, some also choose these frameworks because of the extensive browser API features. However, some people who don't particularly appreciate these languages and API still use electron because it allows them to target browser and native with a single code base. This is where things might change. The sad fact is that most electron applications only use a small fraction of the massive featureset provided by a full browser, and whenever a tiny GUI application gets forcibly bundled with 70+MB of browser runtime, a cute fluffy animal dies. I think this new kind of framework has the potential to save some cute fluffy animals in the long term, though certainly not all of them.
