Why bring Electron? Qt doesn't look exactly native, and it is a bit slower than native, but Electron doesn't look native at all and is much slower.

Qt is kind of a middle ground between low level / native frameworks and web based interfaces like Electron.

And in the majority of the cases, it doesn't cost money. The open source version is LGPL, which means you can use it for free in proprietary software as long as you allow the user to modify the Qt library you are using (usually, in means dynamic linking).
