So far all NW.js based desktops apps felt worse to me than using the website directly. They tend to use more RAM since they each need their own browser instance.

Absolutely, let's not forget that nodejs makes it easy to do the wrong thing. While it's great to lower the bar to learning to program it also often results in great ideas that are poorly executed of which I think most of the nodejs community demonstrates.

How exactly node.js makes it easy to do the wrong thing?

What makes node.js lower the bar for programming? I personally find it not easier than C#. How is it different than, say, Python, in terms of difficulty? How is node.js community showing poorly executed ideas? Any examples or are you after FUD?

Stereotyping a community is the most unconstructive thing you can ever do to for this industry.
