Why did Electron kill it? And don't say size, because people gladly install 0.5TB games at the drop of a hat.
ElectronJS is brilliant, it just needs to go on a diet. It truly is write-once-run-everywhere, which makes my life worlds easier as a dev supporting three OSes.
But it doesn't make your GUI pretty: you still need a designer. And because of that, I miss native GUIs where the design is consistent.
I would ding Electron because it facilitates a diaspora of GUI design when we actually need consistency.
