If they were "much better", devs wouldn't be flocking to Electron. If there's something amiss, claiming there isn't with hand-waves brushes whatever issues there are under the carpet.

You also have to consider where the users are coming from. If you only have experience in web dev, obviously you are going to choose the framework that lets you do what you always did and get a desktop app in the end.

If you have been building GUIs in Visual Studio or VBA, you're probably not going to suddenly switch to Electron.

And if you have mostly been writing Python scripts for the terminal, you might use something like Gooey [1] to build a basic GUI with almost no additional effort.

I bet the majority of those devs are web devs without any experience in native frameworks.

Devs aren't flocking to Electron. JS developers are.
