Isn't the Atom text editor mainly a Chromium web view running on the desktop?

  Yes, and many people don't think of it as native for that reason.

    The colloquial definition of a native desktop application is an application that runs from a binary on your system. So yes, most people DO think of these as native applications.

      It's beyond that. I also uses the native APIs to create the user interface.
