"Are these tools to package web applications into desktop applications? They
are better than AIR because newer embedded browser?"
If you target HTML definitiv. AIR uses an old version of WebKit with some
really stupid restrictions.
I prefer nw.js because it allows you to use NodeJS module right from the
DOM.
Love it .

I did not say it’s better than AIR.
If ActionScript/swf/AIR is a good target, then I’m all for that.
If the target is HTML (for whatever reason), then CEF is a really good way to get HTML5 packaged as a native app. There’s lots of popular apps which use it. Brackets, Evernote, Macaw to name a few.
If a large part of your app is a Web view, then CEF might be worth looking at instead of AIR. Modern Chromium is definitely better than the outdated Webkit included in AIR.

Are these tools to package web applications into desktop applications? They
are better than AIR because newer embedded browser?

If someone has the bandwidth to look into it, using CEF is probably a really good way to go.[1]

In theory, you can use Cordova for that as well. I haven’t tried it
