> There's RAD tools like WinForms and VB that let you drag'n'drop most of the UI if you're happy targeting a single platform.
Even if you want cross-platform native RAD development, there's options like Xojo / REALbasic [1], at least for Windows / Mac / Linux / RaspberryPi development. I'd bet that most of the Xojo developers are single-person coding shops, and certainly don't have big teams of developers & designers behind them.
Electron is definitely not the only option out there. Anecdata, but most of the people I know personally making money from single-developer cross-platform apps are using Qt, not Electron.
