No, there is not fear in the industry. It is just people that refuse to learn js/html/css ecosystem that get outraged when see a electron app. Will you seriously think that a company like Skype didnt think and weight every option before doing their electron app? Sure enough they are not as efficient as native apps, and sure enough there are a lot of apps that thinks everyone have an i7 and 16 gb of ram, but the same problems had Java 20 years ago, pretty much with the same promises than Electron (Write Once, Run Anywhere), and it did pretty good.

Then I realized it mostly sucked, and went to school for EE. Now I get more upset than anyone I know about Electron apps. It only takes one counter example.
