That's an interesting example, because I really want a Quicken alternative, but I didn't go with Moneydance in part because of the Java requirement. I don't want to be constantly patching yet another insecure runtime. Bundling Java with the app is better from a usability perspective, but then I can't be sure if they're keeping it patched, and it's still a non-native & bloated experience. I value cross-platform too, and there are lots of native apps that manage that without Electron or Java. From my toolkit I can see Sublime Edit (of course), also Photoshop, Affinity Photo, Renoise, Melodyne, iZotope RX, Tower, Beyond Compare, Postbox, VLC. Also tons of audio VST effects plugins. When I make native cross-platform desktop apps, I usually lean towards Xojo (aka REALbasic), which also has Linux support. And for my cross-platform Photoshop plug-in effects, the Windows versions are in C / Win32 while the Mac version is a C++/Obj-C framework I made to let me use the same code on both Windows & Mac without changes.
