This is interesting, I feel like NW.js has lost the war against Electron, but I haven't closely been following the topic. Can anyone summarize the latest common opinion on the subject?

There was a period in late 2014-early 2015 where NW.js stagnated, but since then it's been very actively developed. I found this 2016 comparison pretty even-handed and comprehensive; it'd be nice to see an updated version for 2017. http://tangiblejs.com/posts/nw-js-and-electron-compared-2016...

I suspect most electron devs haven't even heard of NW.js even though it came first, so there wouldn't even be any comparison to begin with.
