What kind of application? If you're working by yourself, faster time to market and simpler cross platform support is a massive benefit that unfortunately is more important than CPU and memory use for most applications so Electron makes a lot of sense. Electron gets a lot of negative comments on HN but for many apps I don't think consumers will have strong opinions about it. Most small teams don't have the resources to develop polished native Windows + Mac + Linux apps. Electron might not be perfect but it's better than having to exclude a platform.
