Looking at the electron documentation, it doesn’t seem nearly as beginner friendly.

It mentions this…

>this tutorial assumes you are generally familiar with Node and front-end web development basics. If you need to do some background reading before continuing

Then goes on to say you shouldn’t just know web dev and Node, but also the CLI and git, as well as installing node.js and npm.

Those are a lot of barriers to entry for a beginner who is looking for a quick win to get them to keep going.
