Really, I'm not at all convinced that whipping up an Electron app is inherently quicker than whipping up a native app. Especially when we have robust, mature RAD tools for native toolkits, and things like Qt Quick, WPF, and Java FX let you go the whole "write your GUI in some markup language" route, if that's your bag.
