Now no one call themselves macOS developer, iOS developer, or Windows developer, instead there are desktop developer, mobile developer or web developer. Reminds me of when iOS first came out and people were still experimenting the platform, there were some really awesome mobile games that's truly made for the iOS devices, like Cut the Rope, Fruit Ninja, I can tell they're making apps for the platform, instead of porting generic apps to the platform. As a game developer I'm constantly struggling with the thought of whether trying to go full cross-platform or focus on a single platform. Philosophically, aesthetically and technically focusing on one platform is a far superior choice, but it's so tempting to write one piece of software and able to deliver to all users..
Also poolside.fm is a recent one i noticed that has native clients on web, iOS and macOS that strongly demonstrated the power of being native.
