Swing is definitely not "less native" than Electron. The entire window is a web view in Electron apps. I believe Java Swing was even an officially supported UI toolkit on the Mac a long time ago.

Not in the way Cocoa is, but it had a PLAF coming from Apple at the time.

The menus in Swing aren't native but are in Electron.

  Maybe Electron supports native menus, but VS Code certainly doesn't use them, at least on Windows and Linux. Simple experimental proof: resize the window to be very small, and open a menu. The menu can't go outside the bounds of the window.
