My goal is to get a real world = understanding of the pros and cons of moving from Qt to Electron. There is a relatively new Bitcoin Core Github issue that covers that = topic [1]. AFAIK many Bitcoin Core contributors (and users?) don=E2=80=99t like the = idea of having a Browser and JavaScript to achieve a UI with relatively = simple user-stories. I think if you want to do this, try to work on a third party project and = let your Electron UI connect to Bitcoin Core over RPC. To avoid pulling, eventually use ZMQ or help getting long polling into = Bitcoin Core [2]. Adding a Electron/JavaScript UI to the Bitcoin Core repository is very = unlikely to happen.
