I can't speak for large companies trying to make the call on Electron versus multiple OS-specific apps, but for indie devs this is absolutely critical.

Imagine being a small shop of 1 person (or even 5) and having to learn desktop programming languages, conventions, and native APIs for the web, Mac, Windows, and Linux. Then on top of that to develop and maintain a product that moves at the pace of customer feedback.

That's why Electron is powerful. I could not write and maintain the Hemingway App for Mac and Windows without Electron. My tens of thousands of users would not get to use that software _at all_.
