If Druid is going to build its own widget system from scratch anyway, what makes it more native than something like Electron? For me, the primary reason I'm interested in finding alternatives to Electron is to avoid shipping an entire UI framework + rendering engine with my code.
At least at first glance it seems to me like if I'm avoiding native OS toolkits, I might as well just target the browser anyway -- or is there something I'm missing?

I think the main reason to choose druid over browsers is simply performance. Also, druid binaries are pretty small, for example the calculator is 792k.
