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=E2=80=99t like the id= ea of having a Browser and JavaScript to achieve a UI with relatively simpl= e user-stories.

I think if you want to do this, try to work on a third party project and le= t your Electron UI connect to Bitcoin Core over RPC.
To avoid pulling, eventually use ZMQ or help getting long polling into Bitc= oin Core [2].

Adding a Electron/JavaScript UI to the Bitcoin Core repository is very unli= kely to happen.
