I like Electron but...

...using it for some lousy mouse configuration app seems like massive overkill. Electron is Chromium and NodeJS lashed together just so somebody can adjust their mousewheel sensitivity.

The use of browser engines is so pervasive in some applications (e.g. most game launchers like Steam, Epic etc.) that I wouldn't be surprised that people unwittingly have 10 or 20 of them installed on their machine bloating out the disk.
