> And, if I want it to be an app I can use some HTML/JS wrapper and be done in a similar amount of time. I can have a new electron app up and running and on 3 platforms in under an hour. If I had more mobile experience I'm sure I could do the same there.

So now you have made a crap UI that is running on 3 platforms. It was quick and easy for you, but now every user has to suffer with a slow and bloated electron "app".

GUI development definitely has gone backwards at least a decade. Of course it can still be done right, but with so many low skill web developers everywhere, electron "apps" are what we get.
