Yes, that's what everybody uses electron for, because the use-case is obviously there.

But everybody who has build an electron app and a Qt/GTK app, will agree that the tool kits which are available to electron apps are not as sophisticated as Qt/GTK (not talking about the ton of downsides of electron apps (huge app size, outdated versions, etc.)).

I am completely pro PWA, but as far as I can see it it will take a few more years (at least) before we will get to a state which will allow us to use them in the same way we develop and use normal desktop apps nowadays.
