I think it has more to do with looking well-designed for the
purpose. 3D and audio editors often use non-native custom UI
toolkits. VS Code is also non-native.
But on OSX you have to use the OSX-menu and put extra effort into
the design if you use non-native widgets IMO.
Also, make sure it isn't sluggish. Java apps often has that extra
GC sluggishness to them, even the polished JetBrains IDEs feel a
bit sluggish.
