React Native is fantastic as a user on macOS and Windows. Personally I think if there’s any hope of winning the Electron crowd over that’s it. I like to develop with stronger typed languages than JS, but there's clearly demand given electron’s popularity.
I started getting in the habit of using Typescript with JS. It's annoying at first, but worth it for any decent sized codebase. All the bugs from JavaScript's unexpected type conversions just disappear.
