> Why aren't there any real alternatives to Electron? Because it's not as easy as it seems to create a proper cross-platform framework. And even if there was an alternative, these days you often need rich text, images, videos, etc. all of which are essentially HTML pages. So you'd end up adding a webview anyway, which is getting quite close to being Electron. And I think that's the key - why create an "alternative" to Electron if you end up bundling webviews, ffmpeg, libpng and so on. It might be a bit smaller in size than Electron but not enough that it matters.
