In the rare instance where I haven't been able to find a native app to do some Windows thing I just use the actual Windows app running in a VM. But there's still a tipping point where if you find yourself using more non-native apps than native apps then there's just no point in using that OS no matter how much better it is. I ran into this problem with OS/2 when one day I realized that I was mostly using it as an execution shell for Windows apps... it was difficult to justify using OS/2 after that, even though it was a million times better than Windows.
