Indeed. I try not to use the word "native" these days as it has such ambiguous meaning. I also have thought for a while that Windows no longer has native UI, only legacy (Win32) and a rotating carousel of mostly-failed attempts. There have been a few HN stories in the last week that bear me out, notably [1]. Mac of course is in better shape, as AppKit and SwiftUI are both viable (and interop well enough).

It's a step forward. If someone makes an app which is some Electron/WebView thing and call it "native", my thoughts are immediately rather illegal. Cool, so it's UI framework that doesn't actually make a webpage presented as an app. Truly native for me means: using UI framework that is the gold standard for given OS, UX native for given OS, and using native OS APIs, so my laptop can actually survive 24h on battery. It's truly hilarious that Claude app (and ChatGPT) is just Electron app - argument that writing UI in Electron is cheaper is no longer valid in AI age, but yet they did it. Weird times.
