> you're going to have to check every single feature of HTML5 you use ... you will spend more far time working around browser specific issues than you will spend dealing with OS specific issues in Java. I'm confused at this comparison in terms of Electron. Do you have to worry about any of that when doing an Electron app? Or were you making a comparison between JavaFX and web dev?

You're right that with Electron that's not an issue as you control the browser. I was comparing the equivalent issue in web dev to the "write once run anywhere" issue in Java. If you pick the users operating system e.g. only support Windows then of course, there are no cross platform issues with Java either
