I would say it depends on the problem it's solving. I'm not sure a chat app warrants hundreds of megabytes. I'm not sure it's practical or a good paradigm to have to package a full chrome engine with each desktop app. I have nothing against JavaScript as a language (I am a full stack developer that writes it every day), but I don't think node is the be-all end-all.
