Fair enough - but I guess I'm saying - sell me on why I'd use Cordova
versus just "regular" Electron. Ie, what am I getting? If the only
benefit is being able to reuse code from a mobile app, I feel like
that's not a great use case, but again, I'm definitely willing to be
proven wrong.

Fair enough.

The strongest benefit will be "write once" and "target all" :-)
You are right, the most of the app could be run directly in electron without cordova, but it will be much lesser effort to have the plugin interface on board even if there are not all core plugins supported.

Our target will be exactly this.
Using an existing app and targeting desktop. Many of our used features should be available through electron.

Can I ask what would be the target for this project? I assume the idea
is that I'd be able to use an existing app and target the desktop. But
given that the environment is so different, would it be expected that
a mobile app could "just work" on desktop?
Not saying it is a bad idea - just wondering if it really makes sense. :)

Hey!
It hasn't been worked on in a while. PRs welcomed! If you are interested in
helping out, LMK and I can discuss what the next steps are.
