I feel so too. There are currently no valid alternatives I know to electron. It is sad, but this is the current state of UI frameworks, if you are targeting cross-platform with identical look and feel.

Also electron comes with its own advantages which many on HN seem to forget.

code-server for instance was very easy todo, because vscode was build using electron. It runs virtually anywhere. Uses fewer resources then most WMs on a headless device if you need a full blown IDE.
