That may be true for WinRT, but I did not mention WinRT. XAML/WPF were around a long time before that.

Not sure what you're referring to but no, I don't believe that's true for the projects I mentioned.
Your complaints with JS APIs are warranted, but won't apply to 90+% of apps. Still seems like an overall win to use Electron/NW.js over any other option currently.
