Alternatives that are supported cross platform? That’s the only reason I would potentially consider Electron.

Among the easiest and best supported is Qt. I think Flutter is also going to serve that space decently well (although in a more Electron-like fashion, meaning no/barely any integration into the platform-specific UX, while Qt imitates OS widgets).

With CEF you can write your business logic in a better language, but the UI suffers from the same problems as Electron since it's basically the same thing.
