> how immature all these “native” things still are when you step outside simple screens

Well yeah. If people don't invest sufficient effort in a thing why would there be an expectation for that thing to become mature? People are locked into web tech because that's where the greater majority of the effort has been going. Quite literally people look at native, say it isn't developed enough, and go develop for the web even more. Cycle repeats. Hardly anyone wants to put in the effort to improve native when things already "just work" for the browser.

Sure, but those the native UI dev kits are commercial products, right? Isn’t it their job to sell them to people — not people’s job to sell themselves on it? Part of the reason web stuff is so much more mature is the unwillingness of the big commercial OS manufacturers to keep up with the times. Windows UI kits are a hot fucking mess.

Agreed. He's basically complaining and moaning about Markdown not being fast to work with in Swift, when nobody has really put a lot of effort into that yet. yet despite this, he's not willing to contribute to that himself.
