Thanks, I'm assuming there is some core application capability that people are getting from Electron. In terms of 'write once run anywhere' Java has that covered but doesn't offer a means to spec UIs with HTML/CSS, so if that is the deal killer then it would be nice if Java added that capability for applications. Edit >> looks like JavaFX WebView is a thing now, plus the jxbrowser embeds chromium in a Java App... not sure of the performance of either of these implementations

> 'write once run anywhere' That's the biggest lie ever, with these newfangled "cross-platform" solutions. I want to watch the guy who has to sit down and port electron to a platform it doesn't run on yet. It's just a few lines of code, right? Java had the same problem, everyone who ran Linux in early 2000s remembers. It's still not something I would want to port, but at least it runs on more systems ootb than electron.
