> UI polish with way less effort.

Clearly not. The least effort is to use the platform’s native widgets, or at least a decent toolkit. Those shiny web-based interfaces suck because the developer never put the effort to make the widgets behave as they should, and that’s because it’s actually very hard and expensive to build a UI framework from the ground up. Have a look at UITextField or NSTextField and what they do out of the box for free, for every single application. Nobody is going to implement half of that in their fancy text boxes. The only reason it takes less effort is that everybody half-arses it.

The consequence is that most Electron apps are a dog’s breakfast and the polar opposite of consistent and well made.

The least effort would be to use Qt. It's way easier to use than the native toolkit(s), and already looks native on every platform.
