Secondly, web is a moving target, you spend less now (maybe) but rewrite every 6 months, even if you don't want to (that library is not updated anymore, now we use this one instead)
Last but not least, electron is not a stable platform, a native API is
What happens to software written today in a year?
Wil it still run the same?
I don't think it will honestly
So you have to bundle electron, for every app
Sounds not very smart to me

A lot of these devs who support using web tech seem to only be concerned with writing apps, not maintaining them. They also seem to have a fixation on, "Ohh! Shiney!"
