After reading some Electron info and watching some introductory tutorials the big difference I see between using Electron and the Qt API is that one can create proprietary binary applications using Electron, but to do that using Qt API one must buy a license, which costs $459/mo/seat. ($5,508/yr/seat). For the lone coder operating on a shoestring budget that Qt entry cost is a huge entry barrier. For a corporate developer, with sales in the 100K units or higher, not so much.
Before I settled on Qt I had tried several other dev tools. Those that were component based (Boa-Constructor, Eclipse, etc.) gave me problems with updating when the component versions were not synced. Electron is based on several components. Does one encounter problems upgrading to new releases?
