I think there's misunderstanding here, because I don't think that electron is the only way to go. Like the author of oni wrote here, we can make this frontend happen on any web-friendly runtime.

What I mean is that we should put aside the cons brought by a piece of building block and appreciate the vision, and the ideas behind these "new old things" -- neovim, oni, etc., to which we have been on the same page. However, discussion about whether it's appropriate to use Electron in this thread, without technical explanation or a proposal for workarounds, are distractions in my opinion.
