Using electron for IDE development

[tcak via Digitalmars-d]

As far as I known, and FEEL, one of the biggest problems of IDE 
development is cross platform user interface development.

I haven't started using, but Electron seems like a good tool to 
develop applications by using HTML, JS, CSS. Because it is based 
on node.js, it can run on many platforms.

There are many HTML based syntax highlighters already.

Would this type of development be causing any licensing, or any 
other type of problem in the future for us? Any thoughts?
