Atom uses Electron, VS Code uses Electron, Light Table uses Electron (starting with v0.8).

As for the web side, web apps are a young field, what else would you expect?

There are certainly popular UI elements, Bootstrap for example.

If you want to make an web app that looks native, using React Native could be a good solution.

An app based on React Native isn't a web app anymore. But it's not quite native either; it doesn't use the native button and list view controls on either iOS or Android.
