No, they are also inconsistent: slack, vscode, zed, claude, chatgpt, figma, notion, zoom, docker desktop, to quote some that i use daily. They have all different UI patterns and design. The only thing they have in common is that are slow, laggy, difficult to use and don’t respond quickly to the Window manager.

Compare to other software on Mac such as Pages, Xcode, Tower, Transmission, Pixelmator, mp3tag, Table plus, Postico, Paw, Handbrake etc, (the other i use) etc those are a delight to work with and give me the computing experience I was looking for buying a Mac.

XCode and Pages are a delight in comparison to VSCode and Notion is certainly one of the takes of all time.

XCode is usually the first example that comes to mind of a terrible native app in comparison to the much nicer VSCode.

You missed my point. Electron apps are incongruent to native OS apps.

Electron apps look the same on each platform therefore they are consistent.

The meta point is the effort required to be consistent with the OS.

You listed MacOS only apps, emphasising the point.

To do a per OS consistent experience is N times the effort.
