Hi

This is probably the wrong place to discuss that (OT).

There is a relatively new Bitcoin Core Github issue that covers that topic [1].
AFAIK many Bitcoin Core contributors (and users?) don’t 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.
