I'm a bit confused by this. I thought the entire point of making things "native" was that the app would feel like it belongs on the platform. Native interfaces have certain details that might not be immediately noticeable, but that massively improve the experience. This... does not. The screenshots look like webapps that try hard to look native, despite actually being native. The text in the top-left textbox in the first and second screenshots looks weird, because its baseline is too high. The box around it in the second screenshot has weird corners, etc. Now, I'm not an OSX user, but with all the talk about OSX having the most polished interface, I highly doubt weird things like this are common.

Good point, thank you. Some things look in that weird way only because my (unfinished) implementation. You could use the exact same control as you would use in vanilla Cocoa app, you just need to write a correct wrapper (ViewManager). Most of the current controls are ported from iOS, I certainly should improve some of them. Also, UIExplorer also a ported app, and being not a great example, should be rewritten to achieve more OSX look and feel. Update.
