I am a Windows developer, primarily C#, WPF, and Win-forms. I must say I have had my fair share of interaction with desktop applications. Electron is great for prototyping and bringing an idea to life quickly. Like many have mentioned the performance is pretty terrible. There has to be a balance between performance and development time/ease. Personally I can work quickly on WPF (due to exposure) and tend to stay away from Electron because of its performance issues.
