The fact that electron is easy enough to write trivial apps while at the same time powerful enough to give us VS Code is in my book SPLENDID. If the trival app is too big for a trival app - who cares. The fact is there is now a serious contender in the cross-platform space that so far has been mainly occupied by Java. Java cross-platform is neither easy nor lightweight. And from what I have seen so far getting started with Electron looks a lot easier.
