Thankfully no one around me is either using Electron or thinking about even trying it out.

As for Qt, web devs have C++ allergy, hence why the company behind Qt came up with QML. exactly to fight against this trend.

I'm feeling an increasing sense of hostility towards "web devs" lately.

It's frustration, not hostility. The solution is always HotNewFrameworkStillInBeta.js

Yes, web devs do have C++ allergy. More specifically I think the aversion is to doing your own memory allocation.

To me this makes sense. Web developers will typically have a handle on HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, PHP, SQL, NodeJS. Some will even be good at most of these. There's design patterns on most of these that are significantly different. The context change from one language to another exacts a toll, which I imagine why Node found a niche in the first place. Electron seems to be finding another.
