Of course, the sad state here is that a lot of apps are now Electron-based, so you end up with Chrome anyways. >.<

I've been wondering about that, and how for the "app" side of the webstack if wasm will wipe out the traditional webstack "apps" and put things back in a more orderly fashion. Webstack for web documents, wasm for applications. If wasm becomes the univeral app platform for many appstores and the browser, I'd welcome that over Electron.

It's probably inevitable that shoving Node based apps into the market falls flat in favor of more efficient native code solutions due to mobile. I've been viewing Electron as a temporary stopgap with that in mind at least.
