Congrats on your success! A few questions...

Why electron over native?

How large in scope is your program?

How large in scope was your program when you first started?

Is it just one program and domain or have you diversified to different areas?

Presumably to go cross-platform with less effort.

Exactly. Windows is a much much larger market in terms of number of devices and Mac is larger in terms of pros that pay for software.

And there is huge value in supporting both. If somebody wants to buy an organization-wide license, they almost certainly have lots of both and if you're being evaluated against a competitor that only supports one platform it is quite the leg up.
