The problem with HTML/CSS is the meteoric levels of baggage they bring. If Electron was based around a super lightweight web engine that outright dropped support for anything older than HTML5, CSS3, and latest versions of JS it would be a dramatically better solution than it is now.

Better in what sense? It would still consume similar amounts of memory and the interface will look like web apps.
