> Electron has full support for multiple windows
Can you elaborate? The last time I looked into this (including a little now) showed that, yes, you can create multiple windows, but there are not good solutions for communicating between the windows. Electron's own documentation shows two, options between local storage and Electron's IPC mechanism. From what I've read, IPC is not good for more complex multiple window apps. So one needs to use a local network communication method.

If this is all the case, I would hardly consider it full support.
