Yes I don't understand it wrong :-) And my effort into the project is very low at the moment. We will look forward into cordova-electron.

It has also in use by a lot of companies, thus there is a higher probability of ongoing maintenance: http://electron.atom.io/#built-on-electron In any case, whether through CEF or Atom Electron, to create native plugins you will still need to bridge the code using C/C++ (unavoidable), the difference would be for Atom Electron you would structure your code as a node native module, which gives the advantage that it can be used not just as a Cordova plugin, but as a regular node module outside of Cordova.
