This looks quite good and pricing seems reasonable. I wonder why I’ve not come across it before. Anyone have experience of this vs Electron?

It's not aiming for 100% compatibility to web standards. More like a familiar way to create GUIs. Electron is a very up to date browser instance, and that is both its strength and weakness.

I have seen its use in Symantec. They were happy with the performance and the looks even though limited. It does a few things and does it well. Comparison with electron is not appropriate here as its like an OS altogether.
