Why in the WORLD would a team actively maintaining and improving a
complex graphical project for at least 12 years, with no hint of being
painted into a corner, stop dead in their tracks and rewrite their
software in another language? Why would anyone suggest they do so?

I understand the value of ElectronJS: I use Kivy occasionally and
apparently ElectronJS has the additional advantage of native look and
feel. I'd consider using ElectronJS for new construction.

But rewriting an existing application? No.
