I wouldn't consider web apps "almost native" until they take up the UI paradigms and hopefully the UI design (or at least the spirit of it) of the host OS. There's nothing native about an application that doesn't look or act like it belongs on any particular platform.
- wjoe 10y agoDoes that mean Sublime is not native, because it doesn't use the OS's theme or widgets?
- kitsunesoba 10y agoSublime still qualifies as native. It doesn't use native theming, but the UI widgets are in fact native (just heavily skinned). This is what allows it to have extremely low latency text input (compared to Atom/Brackets/VS Code) and under OS X, allows it to automatically adopt the extensive set of standard text editing shortcuts the OS implements.
