What about NW.js, It's the real hero here. They spent 5 years building up the platform, being used by thousands of companies and apps, basically inventing this technology; just to have GitHub buy up their intern and pay him to make a shitty knockoff called "atom-shell". You're excited because someone tossed a marketing department at a shitty knockoff?
NW.js uses less resources (less ram, smaller distribution sizes).
It is updated more often (within 24 hours of every Chromium and Node.js release, ensuring access to latest technology).
It supports about twice as many OS's (XP+, OSX 10.6+, Debian 8, Ubuntu 10+). Electron doesn't even care enough about Linux to merge in simple bug fixes.
It's much easier to get started with and takes a no-nonsense approach to everything. (thejaredwilcurt.github.io/website/quickstart.html)
Allows for HTML or JS entry for apps.
It offers actual source code protection, and even recently updated this so that there is no longer a performance hit when using it. Which is a pretty serious technical achievement.
The only thing wrong with it is that it's got a shitty name/logo, and has a smaller ecosystem. If you can get passed that you will have a much nicer experience.
