hi Jim.
Electron an nw.js are very similar. Both are good and do basically the
same thing. There are some minor differences that may or not matter to
you. But it is your choice. This does not mean that one is better than
the other.
The basic differences are: nw.js allows to encrypt your source code
(do not expect military grade encryption though). Electron uses a more
"pure" chrome browser.... nw.js is in general easier to use if you
have an existing web application and want to port it to desktop.
Both can be used for games, but scirra has a game engine that re-uses
nw.js I believe.
You can check the details of the differences here:

Electron act the same way as nw.js when someone creates an application
using it?
I have never tried elektron, but as far as I know, yes. Foundamentally,
they are both based on the same versions of chromium.
