> I have yet to find a cross-platform UI framework that really feels native on Gnome. The reality is that there is no shortcut for native UI on all platforms, you have to use the “official” framework (e.g. GTK for Gnome).

The alternative to cross platform frameworks that do not feel completely native on all platforms is to use browsers for desktop apps which do not feel native on any platform. They do not even have similar UIs to each other.

We would be better off using imperfect cross platform frameworks rather than sticking everything in the browser.

I think part of the reason this happens is that users accept it because they are used to web apps so do not expect consistency.
